Shop Zetu Chief Executive Officer Allan Matata speaks during the Chui Ventures investor summit in Nairobi.
The second day focused on strategy. Limited Partners spent two hours assessing company performance, while founders joined a workshop on growth and artificial intelligence led by Jacky Karay of Google and Ken Njoroge, founder of fintech company Cellulant.
Njoroge told the meeting that many founders struggle with fears and barriers to scaling.
"These challenges are not unique but can be addressed when investors and founders engage honestly and work together," observed Njoroge.
The summit ended with joint panels on fintech, artificial intelligence, and education technology. Founders present included Allan Matata of Kenyan fashion e-commerce platform Shop Zetu, Sneha Mehta of beauty-tech company Uncover, and Rukayat Bello of Nigerian fintech solution Regxta.
Wainaina remarked that uniting founders from across the continent supported the fund's aim of promoting inclusive investing.
"We want to show that supporting both male and female founders in different regions can create stronger companies and a more connected ecosystem," she explained.
