Free Land & Fish Fridges: Nairobi Startup Scams I’ve Survived

In this clip, I tell Torsten Rueter — former Chief Product Officer at Koko Networks — what it’s like being a foreigner in Nairobi’s tech world, including the monthly phone call I get offering me "free land" for a fake development project

We also talk about the time a a guy I know got convinced to start a fish refrigeration business in the slums... only to have the fridges stolen and resold.

Welcome to Nairobi — it’s never boring.
