So day 1 of Pivot 25 is over, and everyone
has made their pitch. Who would be your pick for the investor
money?
Mine would be Eatout Kenya and Usahibu.
Eatout because they were the only company with solid proof of
product straight from the market's mouth(though I thought them
revealing their revenue was a bad move). Determination is the principal factor for
success in my opinion, and I've
long held the belief that Mikul Shah is just the most determined
techie in Kenya. If there is an opportunity for a conference,
competition, presentation, grant, VC pitch, he's always there, and
I mean ALWAYS THERE. All the best to him as he forges ahead.
Usahibu because it solved a real need, and out of the 'prototype'
apps, I thought his was closest to a turning point. He also stood
up well to the questions posed by the harsh panel of judges.
What did you think of the event and applicants?
