VC Fund
Nairobi, Kenya
iLabAfrica is a VC fund in Nairobi focused on Agriculture and Health Care. Research Centre under the Faculty of Information Technology at Strathmore University, @iLabAfrica was established in January 2011 to spearhead research, innovation and entrepreneurship in the ICT for Development (ICT4D) ecosystem towards the attainment of the UNDP Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) and Kenya’s Vision2030. They recognise that the spread of ICT technologies in developing countries remains painfully slow; condemning a large fraction of Africa’s population to poverty, undernourishment, disease and disempowerment. They also recognise that this situation is improving in some countries as a result of the phenomenal growth of the mobile telephony services. This improvement in data access and connectivity has created a wealth of opportunities for entrepreneurs to engage in mobile-based services delivery business.
