Jengabiz is a startup incubator focused on giving Kenyan founders the practical tools, mentorship, and digital infrastructure they need to move from idea to investment-ready business.
Jengabiz was created to bridge the gap between ambition and execution. We understand the challenges of building a startup in Kenya – from access to capital to digital skills and market trust.
Too many promising Kenyan founders never get the chance to fully test or grow their ideas. They hit friction early – unclear business models, limited capital, and a lack of mentors who understand the local context.
Jengabiz was started to change that. Our goal is simple: make it easier and more affordable for Kenyan founders to validate, launch, and scale tech-enabled businesses that can survive in the real market.
We combine structured incubation programs with hands-on digital support – from branding and websites to investor-ready documentation – so that founders can focus on building products and serving customers.
Our work is guided by a clear mission and a long-term vision for Kenyan entrepreneurship.
We do this by combining mentorship, digital infrastructure, and capital readiness into clear programs that help founders progress step-by-step – regardless of their background or starting point.
We envision a future where Kenyan startups are not only solving local challenges, but also setting standards regionally and globally – with Jengabiz as a trusted partner along the way.
Jengabiz provides structured incubation alongside hands-on services that help founders move quickly and confidently.
Cohort-based programs, bootcamps, and workshops designed to help founders validate ideas, understand customers, and build business models that work in Kenya.
Support with websites, landing pages, branding, and basic automations so your startup looks and feels credible from day one.
Access to experienced founders, operators, and peers who can share real stories, feedback, and introductions – not just theory.
Guidance and tools to help you create solid pitch decks, financial models, and traction stories that investors can understand and trust.
Support navigating registration, KRA, and basic legal structures so your startup can operate and partner with confidence.
Help with launches, early marketing, and sales playbooks that match how Kenyan customers actually discover and use products.
Our approach is shaped by the realities of building in Kenya and the belief that founders need more than one-off events to succeed.
We prioritize hands-on sessions, real case studies, and tools you can use immediately – not just presentations and buzzwords.
Advice and frameworks are adapted for Kenya – taking into account local infrastructure, regulation, culture, and purchasing power.
We treat founders with respect. That means transparent communication, fair pricing, and clear expectations.
We connect founders, partners, and sponsors in ways that create shared value, not just one-off transactions.
Jengabiz is still growing, but our commitment is clear: we want to be the place where Kenyan founders feel seen, supported, and equipped to build long-term businesses.
Jengabiz is currently sponsored by organizations that believe in the power of Kenyan entrepreneurship and digital innovation.
These partners provide the financial, strategic, and technical support that allows us to deliver value to startups at founder-friendly rates.
Jengabiz is led by a small core team and supported by mentors, partners, and operators across different industries. Here’s a snapshot of how we structure our support.
