Build at the Table Nairobi - A Jasiri x Hello Tractor Meet & Greet
Food systems in East Africa is one of the biggest building opportunities of the next decade. The supply chains are broken. The processing infrastructure is thin. The finance is absent. The market access is fragmented. And the people who understand these problems well enough to solve them, the operators, the domain experts, the builders, haven't always had a credible path to founding.
That's what Jasiri exists to change.
We're coming to Nairobi to meet the people who want to build in this space, or who want to back the ones who do. Whether you're an operator working inside the food value chain, a domain expert thinking about your first company, an ecosystem builder, or an investor looking for the next generation of East African food systems founders, you belong at this table.
We'll also be joined by Jehiel Oliver, Founder & CEO of Hello Tractor, a platform connecting smallholder farmers to tractor services across Africa, for a fireside conversation on what it really takes to build and scale in this space.
What to expect:
Meet and Greet with the Jasiri Team
A warm room, not a conference. No panels. No pitch competitions.
