Among the 50 most recent Nairobi-area rounds with disclosed amounts, the standout is Sistema.bio’s $53M (2026-03-17, Agriculture and Farming). Everything else sits far below that, with only a handful of disclosed rounds above $10M (e.g., Tanda $20M on 2022-10-04; BasiGo $24M on 2024-10-23; Roam $14M on 2024-02-14; CrossBoundary $10M on 2026-06-24), while many disclosed checks are in the $100K–$5M range (e.g., Deevabits Green Energy $180K on 2022-11-01). A second pattern is density in the recent window: multiple rounds land in mid-to-late 2024 through mid-2025, including several $3M–$5M disclosures (e.g., Bidhaa Sasa $3M on 2025-07-03; HoneyCoin $5M on 2025-08-12). Stage visibility is limited: 29 of 50 entries show “Series Unknown,” and 7 show “undisclosed,” making sector and timing easier to compare than round-stage positioning. Dates span 2022-08-15 (Lori Systems, Series B) to 2026-06-24 (CrossBoundary, $10M), and the list concentrates heavily on Financial Services, Agriculture and Farming, and Commerce/Shopping, each recurring 4+ times.

Frequently asked
What’s the largest disclosed funding round in Nairobi-area entries here, and how does it compare to the rest?
Sistema.bio’s disclosed $53M on 2026-03-17 is the only round above $50M in the rows shown. The next-largest disclosed amounts cluster much lower, including BasiGo $24M (2024-10-23), Tanda $20M (2022-10-04), and Roam $14M (2024-02-14), while many other disclosed rounds fall between roughly $100K and $5M (e.g., Deevabits Green Energy $180K on 2022-11-01; Farm to Feed $230K on 2025-11-03).
Do these rounds cluster in a narrow timeframe, or are they evenly spread across the two-year window?
They’re not evenly spread: the most recent entries run from 2025-04 through 2026-06 (e.g., CrossBoundary $10M on 2026-06-24; Sistema.bio $53M on 2026-03-17; MyCredit $3M on 2026-01-15), with a heavier run-up across 2024-10 to 2025-08. Earlier disclosed rounds appear starting in 2022 (e.g., iProcure $9M on 2022-08-18; Tanda $20M on 2022-10-04; Lori Systems has an undisclosed amount on 2022-08-15).
How visible are round stages in this dataset, and does that affect comparability?
Round stage labeling is incomplete: 29 of 50 entries are “Series Unknown,” and 7 of 50 are “undisclosed” on amount. That means analyses based on disclosed amounts (e.g., CrossBoundary $10M in 2026-06 and Sistema.bio $53M in 2026-03) are more reliable than analyses attempting to compare the distribution of known stages.
Which sectors appear most often, indicating possible concentration in Nairobi-area activity?
Several sectors repeat at least 4 times in the rows shown, notably Financial Services (e.g., MyCredit $3M on 2026-01-15; AZA Finance $100K on 2024-10-16; LipaLater $100K on 2024-10-16; Tanda $20M on 2022-10-04), Agriculture and Farming (e.g., Sistema.bio $53M on 2026-03-17; SokoFresh undisclosed on 2023-02-09; Synnefa $300K on 2025-10-28), and Commerce and Shopping (e.g., Bidhaa Sasa $3M on 2025-07-03; Uncover $1M on 2022-12-01; Lapaire $3M on 2024-10-16).
Are there smaller-check outliers worth flagging, beyond the largest $53M round?
Yes—there are very small disclosed amounts alongside the largest round. For example, Zaoshinani shows $10K (2024-10-09, Agriculture and Farming), which is orders of magnitude below the disclosed top end (Sistema.bio’s $53M on 2026-03-17) and far below other mid-sized disclosures like Mywagepay $100K (2022-10-05) or AZA Finance $100K (2024-10-16).
What does the geography look like across entries: one Nairobi city versus variations, and how consistent is it?
All rows are Nairobi-related, but the location string alternates between “Nairobi, Nairobi Area, Kenya” and “Nairobi, Kenya.” Examples of the broader label include Sistema.bio (2026-03-17) and BasiGo (2024-10-23), while some entries use the shorter form such as Jahazii (2025-10-14) and others still remain Nairobi-centered, suggesting no separate geography split within the list.
