About

A pre-seed marketplace built in Nairobi.

We exist to fund the next generation of Kenyan AI founders — without forcing them to relocate, give away majority equity, or wait for a single VC's "yes." We protect ideas the moment they're submitted, score them transparently, and let the crowd back the best of them in $1 increments.

Why we're different

  • 87% to the founder. We take 13%, diluted normally. No co-founder claims, no operational control.
  • $10 lifetime listing. No pay-walls, no monthly fees, no "premium" upsells.
  • Idea protection by default. Cryptographic timestamping the moment you submit.
  • Hard but fair. Curated pre-publication. Only ideas scoring 60+ go live.
  • Crowd, not fund. Hundreds of mini-owners are also your beta testers, advocates, and first customers.
