Every entrepreneur thinks they need capital. But are you actually ready for it?
That’s the conversation we’ve been exploring in The Builders by TendePay — a series that celebrates the grit of the SME sector, bringing you the real stories, hard lessons and operational insights from building and running businesses in Kenya.
For Episode 1: Finding Capital For Your Business, we sat down with people who've been in the room where capital decisions get made:
Ken Njoroge — Founder, Cellulant | PANI | KOMINI. Led Cellulant's $47.5M raise, one of Africa's largest fintech fundraises.
Evans Wesonga — MD, NobleStride Capital. Has closed $150M+ in capital-raising deals across Sub-Saharan Africa.
Kigen Chelimo — Principal, Open Capital. A decade helping African businesses build strategy and navigate investment.
The takeaway across every conversation: capital isn't the starting point. Traction is. A clear problem is. The right team and systems are.
Join us for a live interactive webinar session:
