“The IPO48 experience was quite helpful in the way that I learned firsthand what I need in order to develop an IT startup and the kind of expertise I need. So now, as I continue developing my idea, I know the way to go about it. Oh... And the food was really good!” – Zephania Ajode “The IPO48 is a wholesome experience. The fact that it encourages teamwork and blending in of different capacities of the team members made it worthwhile.” – Linda Kwamboka “First thing I must say, is that, I had a great experience! Pitching for the very first time at this event, was totally amazing for me. I have established some great contacts, by just the mere fact of being at IPO48 and having a start up idea as well. All in all, it was a one of a kind event not just in Kenya but in Africa.” – John Adams
