Use when

A post-revenue Kenyan tech startup wants strategic distribution, product support and investment exposure.

Skip when

You are pre-revenue, not Kenya-registered, or unwilling to consider equity participation.

Status (20 Aug 2026): the most recent public application cycle is closed. Applicants are generally expected to be Kenya-registered, post-revenue, have an active user base and be no later than Series A. Focus areas include fintech, SME productivity, creative/media and AI. This is not a grant: the programme requires willingness to accept equity participation; benefits can include AWS credits up to US$25,000 and commercial integration opportunities.
