Founders Live Nairobi: Prizes That Drive Impact

The Grand Prize: Founders Live Booster Pack

The top winner of Founders Live Nairobi secured the Founders Live Booster Pack, a prize designed as an instant launchpad for startups:

• Over $1,000,000 in Value: The Booster Pack includes credits and discounts across 100+ leading global platforms - cloud hosting, analytics, CRM, marketing, legal, payroll, payments, and more. For a startup, these resources eliminate heavy operational costs and allow founders to focus on scaling their product and reaching new markets.

• Growth Acceleration: With tens of thousands of dollars in credits for AWS, HubSpot, and Zendesk, winners can immediately access technology and infrastructure used by global companies. This levels the playing field, enabling Nairobi-based startups to build with world-class standards.

• Global Visibility: The Booster Pack unlocks eligibility for Founders Live Prime Time, a global competition where winners contend for up to $10,000 in additional prizes while networking directly with investors, mentors, and international media.

• Media Spotlight: A 45-minute podcast feature and written profile elevate the winner’s story across international channels, providing brand trust and credibility that can open doors to partnerships and future funding.

Second and Third Place: Rewards with Purpose

Even beyond the grand prize, the two other founders were rewarded in ways that emphasized progress at every stage:

• Second Place: Earned a Ksh 4,000 voucher from Revazi - a practical resource for small but essential business needs.

• Third Place: Walked away with a Ksh 2,000 Revazi voucher, ensuring every participant gained more than recognition - each left with tools to keep moving forward.

Revazi: Fashion Rooted in Community

Among the standout stories @revazi, a rising retail venture redefining how Kenyans experience fashion.

• The Pitch: Revazi challenged the dominance of recycled clothing by introducing brand-new, stylish, and affordable fashion.

• Community Activation: At the event, Revazi handed out Ksh 500 shop vouchers to early attendees, instantly turning audience members into customers and blending engagement with onboarding.

• Hybrid Model: With both a physical outlet and a streamlined online platform, Feel Free Shop, Revazi is carving a new path in Kenya’s retail sector -where accessibility, style, and affordability meet.

Their approach illustrates how entrepreneurship, when tied to community, creates not just customers but loyal brand advocates from day one.
