Our youth under 30 need to understand it is futile appealing to foreign investors before winning over local investors.

M-Kopa is a case of focused foreigners who know what they came here to accomplish, not locals appealing to foreigners.

There's a lot of talk of fluff in the Kenyan startup scene but I think hearing news like this puts all that nonsense to shame. This was a 1.1 billion round they just raised after a third round where they raised almost 2 billion last year. If this doesn't speak for the startup scene I don't know what will.

All the best,
