On this episode, we take you to Kenya in East Africa. With 54 million people it is smaller than Nigeria (200M) and Egypt (100M). However, according to Disrupt Africa, Kenya has received more venture capital investments than any country in Africa. It might have something to do with being the first place in Africa to get widespread mobile payments adoption. Today 75% of Kenyans use mobile money, which makes Kenya the country with the highest penetration of mobile money in the world. Today we have Mutembei Kariuki, CEO and founder of an AI startup called Fastagger. Mutembei talks goes in depth on the trends in AI across Africa and how it’s used to tackle unemployment.
