MSINGI CONECTA AFRICA
Conecta Africa is a transformative pan-African initiative by Bridge for Billions, designed to strengthen Entrepreneur Support Organizations (ESOs) and expand their capacity to serve early-stage entrepreneurs. As one of the 25 selected ESOs in Africa. We are proud to be part of this movement, working to foster inclusive, sustainable entrepreneurship across the country.
Our program under the Conecta Africa initiative is called MSINGI — a Swahili word that means “foundation”. This program captures the essence of what we aim to build: strong, resilient foundations for early-stage businesses across Kenya.
As one of the 25 Entrepreneur Support Organizations (ESOs) selected across Africa to implement the Conecta Africa program, we are proud to bring this opportunity to Kenyan entrepreneurs who are passionate about solving local challenges. MSINGI is designed for founders who are just starting out — those with ideas or young businesses in need of structure, mentorship, and access to networks that can help them grow.
Delivered entirely through a digital platform powered by Bridge for Billions, MSINGI offers a flexible and accessible incubation experience that allows entrepreneurs to engage from anywhere in Kenya. Through this user-friendly online platform, participants can progress at their own pace while receiving structured guidance and continuous support.
The MSINGI incubation journey includes:
- Step-by-step business model development
- Guided learning through a digital workspace
- Practical tools to test and validate business ideas
- Financial and impact planning modules
- Individual Mentorship support
Each entrepreneur is also matched with a dedicated mentor who provides personalized support throughout the program. In addition, participants join a vibrant online community of fellow entrepreneurs and experts, creating space for peer learning and collaboration.
MSINGI is tailored to support entrepreneurs working in high-impact sectors such as:
- Agriculture and Fishing
- Education and Training
- Green & Circular Economy and Environment
- Health and Medical
- IT and High-Tech
- Consulting, Finance, Insurance and Legal
Our program places a strong emphasis on inclusion. We actively seek to support businesses led by women, youth, and entrepreneurs from rural and underserved communities.
MSINGI is our contribution to building a more sustainable, inclusive, and collaborative startup ecosystem in Kenya.
