MedAfrica Pitches at DEMO

by HASH on September 19, 2011

Mbugua Njihia and Steve Mutinda were the overall winners at the Pivot 25 event earlier this year with their MedKenya app, which has since turned into MedAfrica. Their prize was a chance to pitch at DEMO, the big startup pitching event in Silicon Valley. Here’s their team last week giving the pitch.

MedAfrica is just the tip of the iceberg, as we see more startup spaces, pitching events and seed capital entering the continent.

Wow. One gets so inspired seeing these young Africans actually creating and changing things. However, did he miss out on the numbers? Turnover of $2B in 5 yrs seems to be to unrelalistic? I would like to know how they plan to achieve that turnover and the business model behind.//
