About this event

Nairobi Business Leaders Sundowner, Vol 2
Resilient Businesses, Relentless Founders
Building a business in Kenya is not for the faint-hearted. Cash flow crunches, shifting regulations, talent challenges, and market swings test every founder. Yet some leaders don't just survive. They build companies that last and turn a profit.
Following Vol 1, where we unpacked the finance, legal, tax, and HR blind spots that cost startups dearly, we're back with Vol 2. This time, the spotlight is on the CEOs and founders who have done it.
What to expect
CEO Fireside Chat: Candid, unscripted conversations with top CEOs who have built successful, profitable businesses. They'll share the real story behind the wins: the near-misses, the hard calls, and the lessons that shaped them.
Real stories, real numbers, real lessons: How they navigated downturns, managed risk, built strong teams, and kept growing when it would have been easier to quit.
Open Q&A: Put your toughest questions directly to leaders who've been there.
Sundowner networking: Unwind with drinks and connect with fellow founders, executives, and investors as the sun sets.
Who should attend
Founders and co-founders building or scaling a business
CEOs, MDs, and senior executives
Startup operators and aspiring entrepreneurs
Investors, advisors, and ecosystem partners
