Time flies. And sometimes the most exciting things happens as you least expect it. After a long summer in Copenhagen looking for jobs I now find myself in Nairobi, Kenya.
I found a post on Facebook from an acquaintance, e-mailed the guy - had two Skype interviews - and 3 weeks later I was on the plane to Nairobi.
I've gotten a 3 month paid internship for an entrepreneur incubator. My role is to work with business development, by helping 8 tech starts ups improve their business model. Sort of.
What I'm actually doing is working closely with ManyattaRent, which is a Kenya tech-start up that enables tenants to pay rent to their landlords using M-Pesa, the famous mobile money payment system spearheaded here in Kenya.
It's so far going very well and I love what I'm doing. Last week I meet with the COO of Barclays Kenya, and this week I'm meeting with 3 other major banks to convince them that they should partner with us to provide this service to Kenyan tenants. All in all its extremely exciting stuff.
I'll try to write an update or two on this blog every now and then. And perhaps even upload some pictures. But for now you'll have to settle with this short post. Talk soon!
