I remember we struggled for weeks for the company name but eventually the mother of one co founder..nailed it..we were trying to measure impact..kinetics and metrics.I worked long hours including several nights in the office for six years, burnt out and quit.We started with 2 employees and intern in a spare bedroom.Then we painted the garage and move there for like two years.The house was sandwitched btw a huge kidero house  rented out to shell Africa md and Safaricom Head of Network black keiyo man Barorot.https://www.govconwire.com/2019/05/kimetrica-to-support-usaid-food-security-info-network-under-100m-idiq/

I don't get. You sold off the start-up to someone in Broomfield, Colorado?

I never sold out my shareholding...my father when I told him I was quiting the UN told me...a rolling stone gather no whatever...in that week I quit the UN....I started out from scratch..our first contract was 100kusd.We were ex wfp staff then largest NGO or aid agencies in Kenya.We had quit because we were not making headway...I was mid 20yrs ready for anything

Congrats. How much is it worth now?

My brother pundit it is so nice to see how happy you were yesterday. Hopefully this is a start to greater things to come. Hopefully this softens the rough past weeks you had. We need these type of opportunities in Kenya. I hope can get our people some of the bpo work even if it is to service Africans smes.

wtf is going on? Congrats RVP. Why are we all so rich? Maybe we could purchase an island and build a magical society.
