Leah Kanyi, a tech startup co-founder from Kenya, discusses her journey in tech entrepreneurship and her mission to improve digital and financial literacy in East Africa. Leah shares her experiences with her first startup, Loci Foods, and how it evolved from a simple idea to a mobile application connecting people to international cuisines. Despite challenges, including the pandemic, Leah transitioned to a new venture called Daftari, aimed at simplifying bookkeeping for small business owners in local languages such as Swahili.
The discussion delves into Leah's innovative approach to solving community-specific problems, especially through community-based financial activities and the leap to utilizing tech resources effectively. Leah also shares her admiration for Professor Wangari Mathai, who inspired her to contribute positively to her community, and her aspirations to become an international entrepreneur.
