About

Kenneth Kinyanjui

I have started three companies across payments, IoT, and public transit — and operated within others at times when something needed to shift. The common thread is building where frameworks do not yet exist across Africa, Europe, and North America.

I co-invest with Victor Asemota through OmniAfrica, backing founders building infrastructure across the continent. Payments, distribution, and financial services — the parts of the economy that everything else sits on top of.

When I'm not building or investing, you'll find me running trails, writing on Substack, or somewhere in a tea field in Kenya.
