Nairobi launch: our fourth chapter opens

Builders Circle opened its fourth chapter on 30 October 2026, at Ibis Styles Nairobi Westlands.

Members of Builders Circle Nairobi together at the launch

On Friday 30 October, Builders Circle opened its fourth chapter, in Nairobi. Founders, operators and investors from across the city filled a room at Ibis Styles Nairobi Westlands.

After a welcome from Andy Pippim Yeboah and the story of how the Circle grew from Kigali, the room did ten minutes of speed introductions. Then came The Big What, an open conversation about the biggest problems Nairobi founders face. What we heard will shape the chapter's focus for the year ahead.

Eric Osiakwan of Chanzo Capital then launched the chapter, and Nairobi joined Kigali, Accra and Kampala. The evening ended with the first Nairobi group photo and time to keep talking. Thank you to Rivia Clinics, Chanzo Capital, Ibis Styles and Diaspora Camp for making it happen.

Nairobi now has 40 members. Leads for the Nairobi chapter will be announced soon.
