Disclosed rounds in this Kenya list cluster at the top: the largest disclosed amount is Sistema.bio’s $53M (2026-03-17), which dwarfs the next-largest disclosed rounds of $24M (BasiGo, 2024-10-23) and $20M (Mawingu Networks, 2025-10-04). By geography, Nairobi dominates the dataset (Nairobi appears 39 times; Westlands 3; Nakuru 2), and the city pattern is reinforced by the $10M group spanning Nairobi-based companies such as CrossBoundary ($10M, 2026-06-24) alongside Nairobi entries like Ed Partners ($10M, 2023-11-22).
Temporal concentration shows up in the most recent window: rounds run from 2023-02-20 (oldest, Jumba) to 2026-07-29 (most recent, Orient Enterprises). Across the 50 shown, 30 disclosed amounts are interleaved with 20 undisclosed rounds, and the top disclosed values sit above the smaller disclosed floor of $10K (Zaoshinani, 2024-10-09), making both a clear magnitude outlier and a clear “edge” between undisclosed and disclosed fundraising sizes.

Frequently asked
What’s the largest disclosed round in this Kenya list, and how does it compare to the rest of the disclosed amounts?
Sistema.bio’s $53M (2026-03-17) is the only disclosed round above $50M. The next-largest disclosed figures are $24M (BasiGo, 2024-10-23) and $20M (Mawingu Networks, 2025-10-04), so the top amount substantially exceeds the remainder of the disclosed range.
Are there clear geographic over-representations among the cities listed?
Nairobi is heavily over-represented (39 appearances) relative to Westlands (3) and Nakuru (2). Examples include multiple Nairobi-area deals like CrossBoundary ($10M, 2026-06-24) and Mawingu Networks ($20M, 2025-10-04), while Nakuru appears less often (e.g., Sanivation $3M on 2026-01-16; Agriloom undisclosed on 2026-03-06).
Which rounds fall into the most recent entries shown (roughly the last ~6 months of the table)?
In the latest part of the timeline, the most recent row is Orient Enterprises at $500K (2026-07-29) and CrossBoundary follows with $10M (2026-06-24). Other late entries include Sistema.bio at $53M (2026-03-17) and HoneyCoin at $5M (2025-08-12), with several undisclosed rounds in 2026 (e.g., RYDPEN on 2026-06-06; TIBU Health on 2026-06-02).
What stage mix dominates among disclosed amounts, and how often does the list omit disclosed sizes?
The listing shows 20 of 50 rows with undisclosed amounts and 30 with disclosed amounts, so disclosed figures are in the minority. Looking at the biggest disclosed cluster, high-$ figures include Seed (HoneyCoin $5M, 2025-08-12; Purple Elephant Ventures $500K, 2025-04-09) and larger rounds labeled Series A/C/Unknown, such as BasiGo’s Series A $24M (2024-10-23) and Mawingu Networks’ Series C $20M (2025-10-04).
Is there a notable outlier on the low end of disclosed amounts?
Yes: the smallest disclosed amount is $10K for Zaoshinani on 2024-10-09, which sits far below the largest disclosed amounts like Sistema.bio’s $53M (2026-03-17). The contrast is reinforced by the presence of multiple mid-to-large disclosed rounds, including Roam’s $14M (2024-02-14) and Powered by People’s $8M (2023-03-10), both well above the disclosed floor.
