Frequently asked questions

A few quick clarifications. For anything else, reach out and we’ll respond with what’s realistic for your stage.

Do you take equity in the startups you support?

›

By default, Jengabiz works on a services / program fee model, often supported by sponsors or partners. For specific cases, we may explore hybrid or equity-linked arrangements – but only with clear alignment and proper legal advice on both sides.

Can I just use the tools without joining a full program?

›

Yes. Many founders start by using individual tools like the Lean Canvas Builder, Runway Calculator or Investor Readiness Scorecard. You can later add 1:1 sessions or join a cohort when you’re ready.

Do I have to be based in Nairobi?

›

No. Jengabiz is built to support founders across Kenya (and the region) using online tools and virtual sessions. Where possible, we’ll run in-person clinics in key hubs, but location shouldn’t block you.

How do I know which service or program is right for me?

›

Start by being honest about your current stage: idea, MVP, early revenue or growth. We can do a short discovery call using our Readiness Scorecards and recommend either a Starter Sprint, Builder Program, or targeted advisory sessions.
