Phillip M. Verges – Founder & CEO of New Market Technology Inc had some interesting thoughts on fund raising as well as the unique position that Kenya, and Africa at large has as an emerging market. Investors are not investing in your success (I have never looked at startup funding from this point of view [...]

Do We Care?
I was recently told that a mother and her two kids died last weekend after being hit by a vehicle as they tried to cross Mombasa Road. Ever since Mombasa road was expanded (towards Athi) and recarpeted, it has become a death trap. The Standard has a story on this. The main danger spots are [...]

Kai’s definition of true broadband – being able to do what you want, when you want to online, and without bandwidth restriction. He is on a mission to (hopefully?) change the market’s perception of data operators as being out make money of the common mwananchi at all costs. On local content he likened the submarine [...]

It looks like the conmen are at it again with an (obviously) suspicious looking website that looks quite similar to Equity Bank’s website. Real: http://www.equitybank.co.ke/ Fake (visit at your own risk): www.equitybanknig-plc.com/ It makes for a good laugh, as many guys on the Skunkworks mailing list noticed.

Dr Ndemo @ Skunkworks
The PS for Information and Communication did a talk at the 4th Aug meeting at Telposta towers 4th floor. There was also Joe Mucheru (Google Lead, EA) and Bret Bullington, a VC working in the Silicon Valley. Quite an interesting talk and discussion thereafter, with lots of challenging and thought provoking remarks from Dr Ndemo. [...]

(The scarcity of) Water
I did a bit of travelling this past weekend. Urban and rural Kenya offer rather stark contrasts, including forms of shelter, the concept of wealth, and life priorities among other things.
