The Foundry

For every startup founder, celebrating each other is only too easy. If someone else's crazy idea made it, then it means that your crazy can make it too.
When I see that Isaac Nyangolo and team started in 2014 and are getting to the $1.Y round of funding in 2022 is both challenging and motivational.
I still got a little ways to go for my own Series A. Heck, I haven't event finished the seed round!
Anyways, I didn't mean to make this all about me. Congratulations to Zeraki App for this milestone. Way to go, guys!

Zeraki plans on introducing more administrative tools for schools, in addition to supporting parents with fee loans.

Congratulations to Sam Chappatte and the entire team at Kapu for this milestone. A $8M round of seed funding should do you a lot of good. Go places y'all!

Kapu says it has 1,500 agents across Nairobi, and is working to fully pe*****te Kenya’s capital before expanding to new markets.

Studies show that approximately 90% of startups fail within 5 years of establishment. That is a rather scary statistic, but it will never stop ambitious entrepreneurs from giving startup business a go anyways.

We are a community platform dedicated to helping startup entrepreneurs enhance their business capabilities by creating a custom curriculum. The Foundry is a startup management ecosystem that provides advice on next best actions towards entrepreneurial success.
The Foundry will coalesce into a community of entrepreneurs and provider of sales communications tools that connect entrepreneurs to jobs, mentors, events, funding access, and deals.

Did you know that "Timing" is more important for business success than the business "Idea"?

And "Funding" is the least important factor, ranked even lower than "Business Model" -where most fail.
