Thanks Brian, Allow me to say: This is one of the best times in Kenyan history to be a Technopreneuer (Tech Enterpreneuer). Not only is the government making great efforts (thanks PS Ndemo) there are people and companies willing to finance companies with great ideas and also partner with such local companies. One of the key missing items are people with great ideas, with prototypes of their great ideas and some sort of business model for their great ideas. If I were one of you skunkers who is sitting on a great idea, I would get off the list and start building a prototype of my grand idea and create a business model for it! If you have already done that and you don't know what to do, simply do a shout out on the list. There are a good number of people in the list including myself who can point you to the right direction. One may wonder why I'm saying this. Back in our days (actually a few years back), it was the good old gridding, till your teeth fall off. You could present your ideas to a company and they wouldn't give a !@#$. However this has changed significantly. So go out there to those free events with Food and internet already sponsored. Learn how the business environment works, learn how to present your grand idea (ofcourse with a prototype at hand) and Learn how to protect your grand idea! Enough Said! 8~! --- On Mon, 1/25/10, Solomon Mburu Kamau <solo.mburu@gmail.com> wrote:
