Ehsan's Market Analysis

Nairobi is an underrated market for proptech. While most attention goes to Silicon Valley, Nairobi's 600+ startups are building companies adapted to local market dynamics. The $18K average salary creates interesting unit economics for bootstrapped and capital-efficient companies. My recommendation: start with a niche, own it, then expand.
