About US:
Tech
4 Development (www.tech4development.com) is a social enterprise that develops
innovative
digital solutions with the goal of addressing some of East Africa’s most
pressing
development
challenges in a profitable way. Following in-depth research on small and medium
enterprise (SME) in Uganda and Kenya, conducted in partnership with the UN in
2015, we are currently setting up a B2B mCommerce Venture in Kampala. Our aim
is to transform how Ugandan SMEs communicate and transact with suppliers and
buyers through the use of smartphones. While offline quality control and
delivery services play an important role, it is an Android App that will stand
at the heart of our business model. We will initially focus our efforts to SMEs
and entrepreneurs in Kampala before expanding into other regions and countries.
Our methodology to develop a meaningful product and profitable business model
is deeply rooted in design thinking and lean startup principles. This means we
spend a lot of time observing and talking with users, formulating and testing
assumptions about their needs, building prototypes, and continuously iterating
our technology and business. To do so effectively, we work in a
non-hierarchical & multi-disciplinary team of 6 people out of our beautiful
team-space at Venture Lab East Africa in Bugolobi.
