Demo: every startup, person and number here is fictional, and pitch voices are synthetic. Changes are wiped every night.
A nonprofit for Kenya's startup ecosystem

Great founders are everywhere. Opportunity isn't.

The gap

Talent is in every county.

The truth

Investor networks aren't.

Our answer

Two minutes and a fair look for every founder.

How it works

From a two-minute pitch to a real conversation.

Inspired by how top accelerators screen founders: a short pitch, a clear decision, and a reason either way.

01

Pitch in two minutes

Record on your phone and tag your sector, stage and county. Short enough to make in an afternoon, quick enough for an investor to watch between meetings.

02

Investors make the call

Verified investors watch pitches that match their thesis and mark each one Interested or Pass, with a reason, in one tap.

03

Every pitch gets an answer

You see how many investors watched and why they passed. Interested investors ask for an intro, and you decide whether to connect.

For founders

Be seen without a warm intro.

  • Free, always. No application fees and no equity taken.
  • Feedback instead of silence: anonymous pass reasons show you what to fix.
  • You control who sees your pitch. Contact details are shared only when you accept an intro.
  • Re-record whenever your story improves. Your latest pitch is the one investors see.
Pitch your startup

For investors

Deal flow beyond your network.

  • Filter by sector, stage and all 47 counties, not just who you already know in Nairobi.
  • Two minutes per pitch. Decide quickly, and your feed keeps track of the rest.
  • Invest from anywhere. Diaspora angels see the same pitches as local funds.
  • Every intro is double opt-in, so founders you meet want to talk.

What Fursa isn't

Fursa doesn't replace VCs, angel networks or accelerators. It's a front door to them. No money changes hands on Fursa: we make the introduction, you do the deal.

Fursa means “opportunity” in Swahili
