Dear Amos Don't just give up try centum foundation. They support different types of local start ups.

I am particularly concerned because I ran an early stage startup focused on marketing and communication services and most people I have talked to dont find it necessary to invest in us even after proof of concept and scalability. All of us cannot be programmers and innovators somebody has to offer the critical support services (strategy, branding, marketing etc) needed to take the innovations to market. So far I have found it practically very hard finding investors (angels and VCs) to put their expertise and resources in startups that are not purely tech. > > Hopefully somebody can shed light on this > > On Tue, Feb 2, 2016 at 6:11 PM, Mwendwa Kivuva via kictanet <kictanet(a)lists.kictanet.or.ke> wrote: >> >> >> On Feb 2, 2016 1:14 PM, "James Muritu via kictanet" <kictanet(a)lists.kictanet.or.ke> wrote: >> > >> > Registering a business in Kenya is a nightmare.

it? The Internet of Things (IoT) or IoE (Internet of Everything) is changing the business playing field and the African continent will definitely not be left out, creating opportunities for new sources of revenue, smarter interactions with customers, and greater efficiency. Yet IoE introduces new technical challenges. How do you securely connect intelligent devices via the Internet to your enterprise, capture data at the “point of action,” and analyze huge volumes of machine-generated data in real time? What does this mean for emerging and developing economies? We live in an increasingly connected world in Africa. Humans are connected to each other and to a vast inventory of information and entertainment in unprecedented ways. Almost half of the world’s population now owns and uses a mobile device. In the developed world, most households are connected to the Internet and with a relatively high internet penetration rate in Africa, we now take for granted what our smart devices let us do almost instantaneously – work, play, shop, explore, and communicate. In recent years, we’ve entered a new era of connectedness beyond the human realm. More and more objects in our physical world are now able to communicate with each other or with us through embedded sensors, tags, and actuators without human involvement. These “smart objects” can see, hear, feel, and smell the world around them. Intelligence embedded into personal items, household appliances, cars, clothing, factory equipment, and infrastructure generates vast amounts of valuable data that can be collected, networked, and analyzed for a wide range of business, societal, and personal advances. As the Internet of Things moves to the mainstream business eco-systems in Africa, enterprises need to be ready to fold increasingly intelligent assets into the IT landscape. Keep your fingers crossed as Digital Africa Conference and Exhibition 2016 will focus on this aspect as it affects our lives... | | | | Register | | | | Exhibit | | | | Sponsor | | | | | | | | | | Share | | | | | | | Tweet | | | | | | | Forward | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Copyright © 2016 Digital Africa, All rights reserved.

BAKE condemns the arrest and intimidation of Kenyans online
by James Wamathai 28 Jan '16

28 Jan '16

Ngigi, Sometimes it's good to put some of these things into context. Which law prohibits sharing of images that say Yassin Juma broke? Also for the guy who was arrested coz of publishing information about Kabogo and eggs. Why does the state have an interest in a case like that instead of it being a civil matter. A common thread in all this is that the intention in all these cases is to intimidate the person and others like them so that they don't share information critical to certain people. I'm not for defending people who have broken the law but it doesn't seem that any of these people have broken any laws.

Tech Community Takes Opportunity to Vent At CS Mucheru
by Nanjira Sambuli 27 Jan '16

A media reporter opted for the verb "vent" to describe last Friday's #First100Days fete. ---- Tech Community Takes Opportunity to Vent At CS Mucheru // AllAfrica News: Kenya [Nation] Last week, the new Cabinet Secretary for ICT, Mr Joe Mucheru, was kind enough to bring his two Principal Secretaries, Mr Victor Kyalo and Mr. Sammy Itemere, along to a meeting hosted by the Kenya ICT Action Network (KICTANet.) ---- Shared via my feedly reader Regards, Nanjira.
