Kevin Mutua
I'm Kevin. I ran deliveries myself for two years before there was a team. I'm looking for one partner who wants to build a serious operation, not a quick return.
Build Kenya never processes payments. One founder, one partner — agreements are signed directly between the two of you.
This is a complete Build Kenya profile: the founder first, then the business, then one clear opportunity. Every section carries a short note explaining what it's for — so when you write your own, you already know the shape of a strong, honest profile.
Founder
Why I started this business
I started riding because I needed the money, and I kept riding because I saw the same problem every day: a shopkeeper closing at noon to go fetch stock, losing a whole afternoon of sales. I built Chapa so that never has to happen. Twelve riders now feed their families from this work. My dream is a network big enough that no small shop in Nairobi loses a day of trade to a supply run.
Write it in your own voice: the problem you lived through, why it matters, and what your dream is. Two honest paragraphs beat a page of adjectives.
