@josey,

You have not started yet but would you want to start?

@seeker,

You can therefore count yourself extrablessed. I have not heard of that. The only thing I know is scam in internet.

@ghettomafia,
Where are you? We are waiting.

@all
Lets use this forum to suggest ways of raising startup capital. I know very many ambitious Kenyans are stuck. Trying but never make it.
Over the weekend,I talked to those guys I mentioned introducing this thread. When I seek a solution from them,all of them said; akili ni nywele na kila mtu ana zake. I mean,they are mean even to share the story or offer encouragement! I will not blame them,maybe they are starting to actualize and feeling guilty to some extent.
Those guys who have made it,share your experiences.
I have googled and realised there are some organisations (including our very own,esther passaris) that support a noble idea that is well documented. Problem is conditions stated can only be met if you have already running something.

It doesn't hurt to know more than you have

I remember there was a guy called @eli,
He sought to have partnership with someone to do some farming. Can't remember what it was. Same guy had ealrier requested for an M to invest in stocks and payback mos mos
I remember another guy (username forgotten) he asked for quick help for he is living from hand to mouth.

I remember another (username forgotten) who sought some loan from shylocks to startup biz for his better half

and the list never ends.

So where are we?

The more money you invest in starting a business,the more likely it is to fail!!!

Look at the biggest businesses around...microsoft was start with less than US$200 for buying second hand computers....Tuskys was started with KSh7,000 in the early nineties [my salary at that time was Sh9,500 in a GoK institution]....etc

Any new business needs 3 ingridients:


A good idea for a product/service
Capital to get it started
A ready market to buy the product/service

Of these,a ready market is the most important. Capital and ideas are nothing if there is no market. I know very many businesses that were started without any capital and they are very successful today......

There is a guy who started a water delivery business during the current rationing. He made fliers and distributed to his neighbours offering to deliver the water. Got some orders. Contracted a tanker to fetch the water. Delivered to his neighbour. Was paid and then paid the tanker owner.....that was 6 months ago; today he is delivering 50,000litres to various people every day.....and he still hasn't bought a tanker!!!

Think about that!!

Nothing is real unless it can be named; nothing has value unless it can be sold; money is worthless unless you spend it.
