We have heard of many stories of technology entrepreneurs across the world who have made from nothing by building great technology companies. Good examples are mark zuckerberg the founder of facebook, bill gates the founder of microsoft among others. In kenya there are those who have pursued the same route and have made themselves some serious cash.1. Mike Macharia, is the founder and CEO of seven seas technologies limited. Mike dropped out of Egerton university where he was pursuing a course in maths and physics and enrolled himself at strathmore university for an accounting course. He started seven seas at the age of 25. The company provides integrated business and technology solutions across Africa. The firm success has received notice, with telecommunications company safaricom showing an interest in acquiring an ownership stake at seven seas.2. Ken Njoroge, is the founder and CEO of cellulant. Cellulant is a mobile commerce company that manages, delivers and bills digital content that is specifically tailored for use with mobile phones.
