SAIS at the Africa Tech Summit Nairobi

The Africa Tech Summit brought a week of peer exchange, investor dialogue, and community building in Nairobi to a fitting close. Following SAIStival and the Ag Safari Summit, the majority of our founders stayed on to attend one of Africa’s most established tech conferences, and for good reason.

For pre-seed and pre-Series A start-ups, access to the right investors at the right moment can be the difference between stagnation and scale. The Africa Tech Summit brought that access into one room. Our founders used the opportunity to continue conversations started earlier in the week, pitch to new faces, and position themselves within a broader ecosystem of investors, corporates, and ecosystem builders from across the continent and beyond.

This is precisely what the SAIS programme is designed to enable. Investor interactions are a core part of what we offer, and embedding our founders within events like the Africa Tech Summit ensures that the preparation they put into pitch training and investor readiness translates into real opportunities on the ground.

We look forward to seeing where these conversations lead.
