The Client/Startup AgriFlow, a pre-seed startup aiming to connect smallholder potato farmers with urban restaurant buyers to reduce post-harvest losses.

The Challenge The founders, Sarah and James, had a brilliant concept but were working out of a noisy café. They struggled with unreliable internet, lack of meeting space for potential investors, and—most critically—isolation. They needed a professional environment to validate their MVP (Minimum Viable Product).

The Solution AgriFlow joined the Africa Tech Space Co-Working Hub.

• Infrastructure: They utilized our high-speed fiber internet and dedicated private office to stabilize operations.

• Collaboration: Through our community networking events, they met a UX Designer (another member) who revamped their app interface in exchange for equity.

• Mentorship: We connected them with a supply chain expert from our mentor network.

The Impact

• Product Launch: AgriFlow successfully launched their beta app within 6 weeks of joining.

• Funding Secured: The professional meeting rooms allowed them to host angel investors, securing their first $15k in pre-seed funding.

• User Growth: They now serve over 200 farmers in the Rift Valley region.

  Testimonial: “Africa Tech Space isn’t just an office; it’s an ecosystem. We found our lead designer at the coffee machine and signed our first investor in the conference room.” — Sarah Mukundi., Co-Founder, AgriFlow
