In the last year, we’ve hosted founders who are building everything from deep tech and AI to community-first consumer products across Africa and beyond.​
The common thread? They’re all figuring it out in public.

On Jan 15, CMX Connect Nairobi × Startup Grind Kabarak are hosting a virtual Alumni Founder Meetup to:

• Reconnect our past speakers, pitchers, and community members

• Spotlight a few alumni founders and what they’re building now

• Create room for new founders to plug into both communities

This is for early-stage founders who want:

• Community they can actually lean on

• Practical ideas for 2026 (customers, product, team, funding)

• A space to ask honest questions and learn from peers

We’re also open to brand partners who’d like to support the session with perks, tools, or sponsorship for our early-stage builders.
