MC Studio: Aikya Business Clinic

​Join MC Studio for a hands-on business clinic designed for MSMEs across fintech, healthtech, edtech, agritech, retail and ecommerce, and energy and manufacturing. Hosted at IBM Research Africa in Nairobi, this clinic brings legal support and tech implementation together in one room, giving founders practical guidance on compliance, data privacy, and IP handling specific to their sector. For only Kes 3,000, participants get direct, on-site access to expertise that would otherwise take weeks of separate consultations to gather.

​MC Studio is a Nairobi based venture studio and Silver Status IBM Business Partner, working closely with startups on compliance, product QA, and overall growth support. For this session, we're partnering with Okutta and Wairi Advocates, who handle the legal side of things within Kenyan jurisdiction and represent startups in cross border matters across the EMEA region. Their involvement means startups leave with real legal clarity, not just general advice, and a framework that fits their specific size, sector, and stage of growth.

​Beyond the clinic itself, this program is part of a longer term effort to track and support startup growth for future investment opportunities. Okutta and Wairi will maintain the dossier for each participating startup, helping build a clear record of progress over time. If you're building in one of these six sectors and want practical, sector specific support in a relaxed but focused setting, this session is worth carving out time for.
