The capital of Kenya, Nairobi, is a vibrant city offering various resources for young start – ups, including accelerator 88MPH and incubator i-Hub. Despite all these advantages, it seems that the foreign investors are still reluctant to invest in seed and early stage projects. The next step would be to secure funding.
