Kenya thrives as a hotbed of entrepreneurship. Entrepreneurial intentions, dreams, aspirations, and desires run deep in our national culture. We read elegant stories about the founding of Microsoft and its prolific growth and feel inspired. We attend talks on how NaiLab supported a generation of Kenyan technology entrepreneurs and have hope. We watch videos about the birth and eventual domination of Facebook on the global stage and ponder if we can achieve similar success.
However, researchers look into different types of entrepreneurial journeys. Not all of us will have the time, financial resources, human capital, supportive government environments, or technical know-how to launch behemoth viral technology sensations.
