“we are thrilled to be working with eatout ( @ eatoutkenya ) and the various restaurants taking part in nairobi restaurant week to connect with their local communities . using the hashtag # nrw2015 , twitter will help you discover new dining experiences around the city and let you get closer to your favourite restaurants , ” said bindiya shah ( @ bindi ) , partnerships manager , twitter africa .
in 2011 , we raised $ 100 , 000 . and in 2012 , i decided to look into the same model but for accommodation spaces . we raised $ 200 000 , and then in 2013 again we raised another $ 200 , 000 for eatout . we will be in another round of funding and this time we are raising about $ 1m for each of the businesses .
mikul is the managing director at eatout ( urltoken ) , the regions largest online restaurant guide which he founded in 2010 . he is a serial entrepreneur with over 15 years experience in mature and emerging markets . he currently serves as an advisor to safaricom ' s spark fund and has been involved with several other organisations including naked pizza , urltoken & 88mph as an investor and / or advisor .
mikul shah , founder and ceo welcomed the idea saying “eatout has always aimed to be at the forefront of disruptive innovation . # nrw2015 will provide a new marketing tool for restaurants to communicate to the new generation of diners in kenya . we’ve worked together on a training guide and hope that restaurants use it to their advantage . i guess it’s our way of thanking the restaurants who have supported the restaurant week campaign . ”
what did happen is , about a year down the line , we won numerous awards , and because of kenya ict board was sort of pushing venture capitalists and angel funds to come into kenya and look at what the startup scene is like , we managed to get in front of a number of vc’s , and we were able to pitch our concept . we managed to raise a round of funding for eatout with the aim to build a more scalable revenue model .
but we managed to get them on board . after a few months , i realized that this is not a hobby , i could actually pursue this . so , i hired one person and together in 2010 we launched eatout , two people ; one handling the accounting and reservations . and , believe it or not in 2010 , we were getting one reservation a week coming through our website . so now we are into our fourth year and we are doing a thousand reservations a day at the moment .
the blog awards showcase the amazing talents of the foodie community in kenya . our aim at eatout and yummy magazine is support individuals who are helping put kenya on a global map as one of the best culinary destinations in africa . our country has some of the most amazing produce and the restaurant scene is on par with major cities all over the world growing . our ceo , mikul shah was delighted to be a judge and had a difficult task to help pick the five finalists from hundreds of entires .
my name is mikul shah , ceo of eatout . i hold positions in a few other companies . urltoken is one that received a lot of attention recently . i was born in mombasa . i lived there until i completed my a - level education . then i moved to the uk for my university studies and ended up settling there . i lived there for over ten years , in london . i attended university in manchester . and then in 2009 when i started my family and had my first son , i made a decision to move to nairobi .
there is absolutely no reason for focusing on hospitality . like i said , i am very keen as a consumer on food and travel . i love traveling and going to restaurants and trying new foods , whether it is on the side of the streets or five star hotels . so eatout was the entry . then i met my co - founder for sleepout , who have moved their offices to mauritius for banking and taxation purposes . so , we got together and he said that he was looking into doing something very similar to me in the accommodation space , and he had done a small pilot in lamu . and i thought that it could be very difficult to do both of these things . so i was happy to use the eatout brand and do an extension of that . last year , we did a quick launch of our website just to get the brand out there . however , the new platform which is urltoken and not urltoken has already attracted hosts from 30 countries world wide , from brazil to cape verde and we are starting to see bookings coming in through the new platform as well which is completely electronic . )
visa has partnered with eatout , east africa ' s largest online restaurant guide as the title sponsor of the second edition of the burger festival in nairobi , mombasa cities in kenya and kampala city in uganda in a bid to foster partnerships and improve card usage for purchases . the partnership aims to encourage consumers to use their visa card . the nairobi and mombasa visa burger festivals run from 08 may to 14 may , and the kampala visa burger festival runs from 15 to 21 may . visa card holders can get two burgers for the price of one at over 90 participating restaurants during the festival .
at the moment our business model is changing completely . however , up until now we charge an annual subscription fee , very high in my opinion . it locks out a lot of restaurants willing to participate with eatout . henceforth , we are moving into a smaller subscription fee , but then a transaction fee for every booking , or every spend within a restaurant we get a small cut which will be about one or two percent of what the customer is spending . it is a very scalable model and that is the model we are progressively launching in ten cities in africa . we are looking at egypt , south africa , mauritius , uganda , tanzania , rwanda , burundi and ethiopia .
eat out kenya has won the award for best digital media platform at the 2 nd kenya tourism awards .
“today’s awards thus serves as recognition of the role the industry plays and contributes to the country’s economy through the sector gdp’s portfolio of 11 % , ” minister mwazo said .
the minister noted that despite the traditional source markets that take a bigger share in contributing to the total tourist arrivals to the country , africa and emerging markets have shown remarkable growth in the recent past , an indication that the region has growth potential .
ktb board member patricia ithau said the inclusion of media in the awards is meant to recognize its role in exposing kenya as a tourist destination both to local and international audiences . she said : “ktb takes cognizance of the fact that without the media , its role as a marketing agency would not be fully realised . ”
gfk has launched its annual viewscape study in africa , showing how the rise of digital platforms is transforming consumers’ viewing habits .

mikul shah , a nairobi based serial internet entrepreneur , earlier this year spoke to startup academy about a business that started as a hobby , how startups can increase their chances of attracting investors , why a business is a business , whether offline or online and why , for his first company , going mobile is not the top priority .

one of my biggest passions is food , and restaurants . my background in education is it . i spent over ten years in technology . but , like i said , my passion is going out to restaurants and trying new foods . when i came to nairobi , i was completely shocked that there was no online platform or mobile app that would tell you which restaurants to go to , and what sorts of cuisine are available and what customers are saying .
in terms of technology , at least when we started i felt that was a very easy thing to do . it was just collecting a bunch of content and putting it together on a platform and hence , it kind of started as a complete hobby . in 2009 , i approached a number of restaurant owners and said , “hey , would you need to stay on this platform ? ” . most of them said , “yes , but you are crazy , it is not going to work” .
actually , we were profitable on day one . all the restaurants we had piloted with immediately , when we said we were launching , paid us the annual fee and so from pretty much day one , we had two employees and we had 20 clients who were paying us . so we were profitable on day one .
the main thing is , if you look at things from the investors’ point of view , they are not here to donate money and give away charity , they are here to make a massive return with the money that they are putting into the business . obviously , if you already have a solid business , then it is quite comforting for an investor to say they are already making money , they know what they are doing .
when it comes to what is happening in the current scene , there are two things , and i certainly don’t think that either one is better or not : there is taking a route down competition and grants . like i said we have won numerous competitions and some big value grants ; like a world bank grant of $ 50 000 that kick started some of the things we wanted to do .
however , a lot of the sort of entrepreneurs are not too serious about their business and they are really competing to win grants and competitions . if they fail to win , they close down the business because they rely heavily on that sort of funding .
i like the model where somebody is getting something out of putting some money into your business . so , my preference would be investors who are looking for equity swaps or convertible debts where if they are giving me some money , they are taking something out of the business .
obviously , what else they can bring apart from the money is very important ; the network , the knowledge to help you grow your business . but , generally , i think there are sort of two or three really important things ; i think the most important thing is the team . a lot of the times , we think we have a brilliant idea , we are going to change the world . however , we don’t have the experience . so , it is more important that the idea will change and adapt over time because business requirements change , conditions change , and the environment changes . so , how do you adapt your initial business idea so that once you decide to execute it things change by the go .
generally investors really look out for entrepreneurs who are able to adapt according to what is happening . and rarely do you see an idea is completely sold without a team . one of the biggest mistakes that i feel especially with our tech community , and i mention this a lot of times with teams that i mentor , is that , if you are a group of four people in a startup , ideally you should not be four techies because you are missing a lawyer , a salesperson and a marketing person . and that’s your perfect team because to run a successful business is not about you building the technology . and we have learnt the hard way that we need a strong sales team , a strong marketing team . at some occasions we’ve been really hurt by not having a strong legal team . so , in my opinion , that is what techies are missing out on . they think that because they can build a fantastic product they will be able to sell , to market and to scale it and they don’t have that expertise . at the end of the day , they are techies . so , techies should stick to doing what they do best but the entire team in a business should be much more than just techies .
in 2011 , we won an award with samsung for the best entertainment application . we signed a contract with a provider who is working with samsung so we will be pre - embedded on every samsung device in the market . also , currently we are in the final stages of developing our native android app . but we have been on the mobile platform for quite sometime .
unfortunately for us , for our target demographic , mobile is not the absolute necessity . our target demographic generally has a computer at home , a computer at work and a smart phone . hence , they all play an equal part , so we don’t really need to focus absolutely on mobile . but with smart phones becoming bigger and better over time , it is a big part of what we do . our website is actually more important than moving into mobile . however , we have been in mobile from the very beginning .
you founded urltoken , then co - founded urltoken , urltoken , you are also part of naked pizza among other entities . is there a particular reason why you focus on the hospitality industry ?
there is no legislation that is easily available . with brick and mortar businesses , everybody knows the right , wrong and legal ways of doing it . to be honest , for us , there hasn’t been a massive problem . i think we operate pretty much like an offline business , it is just that our channel is online . i think that is important to note as well that a business is a business , whether it is online or offline , and certain business fundamentals have to be in place ; customer service , product knowledge , simple things like accounting and running an office , taxation and legal matters , all have to be in place . first we treat our company as a business , just the fact that it is online is not so important to us here . obviously , it has gotten us a lot of attention , because we are successful in the online space , but , at the end of the day it is just another business .
is a place where we share stories , information and resources that inspire and inform entrepreneurs .

while access to capital is still a widespread issue in africa , these ventures successfully raised significant amounts ( us $ 500 , 000 + ) so far in 2017 .
in 2016 , african or africa - focused startups raised between $ 129 million and $ 367 million , according to reports from disrupt africa and partech ventures .
perhaps unsurprisingly , given promising macro trends across african markets ( e . g . , increasing mobile / smartphone / internet penetration rates , a gradual rise of the middle & consumer class , rapid urbanization , and strong working - age population growth ) , the momentum continues into 2017 with entrepreneurs and investors in africa & beyond continuing to explore and exploit opportunities for progress and profit across the continent .
unicaf , an online education platform & operator of higher education learning centers , raised $ 12 million from kenya’s savannah fund , new york’s university ventures , and uk development - finance institution , cdc group .
kenya’s twiga foods , a b2b m - commerce platform , raised a $ 10 . 3 million series a round led by dubai’s wamda capital .
flutterwave , an api - driven fintech platform , raised a $ 10 + million series a round co - led by new york’s greycroft partners and san francisco’s green visor capital , with silicon valley’s y combinator also participating .
nigeria’s urltoken , an online marketplace for used cars , raised a $ 5 million series a round from berlin’s frontier car group ( a holding company backed by london’s balderton capital , london’s tpg growth , lagos’s echovc , and silicon valley’s nea . )
kenya’s powergen , a renewable energy provider , raised a $ 4 . 5 million series a round led by dutch family office , dob equity with kenya’s ahl venture partners also participating .
morocco’s waystocap , a cross - border b2b e - commerce platform , raised ~ $ 3 million from silicon valley’s y combinator , waltham’s battery ventures , silicon valley’s soma capital , new york’s palm drive capital , palo alto’s amino capital , new york’s story ventures , san francisco’s lynett capital , and others .
kenyan - headquartered bitpesa , a virtual currency payment platform , raised a $ 2 . 5 million series a round led by silicon valley’s draper associates , with participation from new york’s greycroft partners and others .
south africa’s hearx , a hearing - focused digital health firm , raised a $ 2 . 8 + million seed round , including $ 500k in grants .
nigeria’s tizeti , a high - speed wireless internet provider , raised $ 2 . 1 million from california - based venture - debt firm , western technology investment , silicon valley’s social capital , dubai’s vy capital , san francisco’s lynett capital and others .
kenya’s alternative circle , the fintech - focused parent company of mobile micro - loan app , shika , raised a $ 1 . 1 million strategic investment from iceland - based credit risk management company , creditinfo group , related to data generated .
kenya’s bamba , a mobile - driven data collection startup , raised a $ 1 . 1 million seed round from silicon valley’s draper associates , colorado’s foundry group , san francisco’s right side capital , and others .
ghana’s omg digital , a viral media company , raised a $ 1 . 1 million seed round from san francisco’s comcast ventures , silicon valley’s soma capital & social capital , and others .
south africa’s aerobotics , a data analytics company leveraging drones , raised a $ 600 , 000 + seed round from kenya’s savannah fund and south africa’s 4di capital .
uganda’s ensibuuko , a provider of cloud - based finance software for non - bank financial institutions , raised $ 500 , 000 from canadian investor , ed levinson .
tanzania’s jamii , an m - health insurance provider , also raised a $ 750 , 000 seed round , reportedly comprised of 50 % in grants .
though perhaps not as driven by tech as the ventures above , it’s also worth noting that kenya’s africa logistics properties , a developer , acquirer , and manager of logistics warehouses , raised $ 4 million from dutch family office , dob equity , and nigeria’s tomato jos , an agricultural production company , raised $ 2 . 1 million from vestedworld .
in addition , tala and d . light , which target african markets but have significant operations elsewhere , also received funding in 2017 . tala , a provider of smartphone - based micro - loans , raised a $ 30 + million series b round led by silicon valley’s ivp , with participation from new york’s collaborative fund & lowercase capital , and others , and d . light , an off - grid solar energy solutions provider focused on africa & asia , raised $ 5 from norway’s norfund . ( iflix , a subscription video - on - demand service , and taxify , a ride - hailing uber competitor , which are both present in african markets , also raised significant rounds . )
fintech players flutterwave , bitpesa , alternative circle , and ensibuuko all raised significant amounts in 2017 . with africa - focused fintech startups raising $ 30 - 70 million in 2016 ( approximately one - fifth to one - fourth of total funds raised by african startups in 2016 across all sectors ) , including zoona’s $ 15 million series b and branch international’s $ 9 + million series a , the sector continues to receive significant investor attention . in all , african fintech startups have raised in excess of $ 100 million since 2015 .
among the list of investors above a few names are quite active in africa , appearing multiple times . draper associates , led by tim draper , invested in both bitpesa and bamba in 2017 . but that’s not all . tim draper was among the earliest investors in nigeria’s paga in 2012 , and through draper dark flow , alongside toro orero , he has invested in various startups across the continent including nigeria’s paystack , south africa’s sweepsouth , and ghana’s swiftly . ( draper and orero are also involved with the african startup institute , launching in march 2018 , which will offer personalized entrepreneurial training in lagos , nigeria . )
we’ve always believed in the potential of the market . i expect we make more investments in africa over the next five years than the last 10 .
in addition , silicon valley’s y combinator , soma capital , & social capital , as well as san francisco’s lynett capital ( also an investor in flutterwave’s 2016 seed round ) all appear more than once . as does kenya’s savannah fund .
the fact of the matter is that africa is one of the toughest and least forgiving capital raising environments , and the time and effort spent on it has ‘killed’ or at least really held back many great teams and ideas . – ido sum , investor
while the list above makes it clear that finding funding is far from impossible for the right teams with the right ideas & execution , it should still be highlighted that access to capital , whether in ‘significant’ amounts or otherwise , is still a real issue for promising , high - potential teams across africa .
“focused exclusively on technology enabled solutions and innovation serving sub saharan africa ( ssa ) . ”
i want [ to support ] african online businesses … i think e - commerce , internet , big data is the future . you can never stop it . you like it or don’t like it . but you will never stop it .

product is easy to use . navigation is really straight forward . can easily learn to use the software in a day .
sometimes the application would freeze but closing browser and re - opening would work . would not work properly on certain web browsers .
as a back office user and administrator , i like the integrated solution . it means quicker invoicing process and tighter controls .
the upgrade process is very labor intensive . it does get easier with each upgrade now that we have super users and better documentation .
what i like most about this product is that it is not complicated and is very easy to use and understand .
overall it is a great product . i have been a part of the implementation team for two companies and it was night and day once deltek came online . things i learned : tips : 1 ) run at least a 3 month if not a 6 month parallel with your old system , with your old system generating the live invoices . 2 ) work out any bad numbers or problems in your old system , the one you know well , before migrating to the new system 3 ) project set is the key . the system is based on how the project is originally set up , so make sure your staff is 100 % comfortable in performing the project set up . 4 ) have someone on staff who has gone through an implementation before , is very helpful .
project detail - the ability to understand the financial picture of your project or company from the highest level down to the charging level . government bids - allows the company to bid on cost plus type contracts with the confidence that the cost will be tracked and be reported to the government ' s satisfaction .
it is not a system you can sit down and in a couple of days figure it out intuitively . it is conceptually difficult to understand , if you have never used a system like this one .
both time attendance and costpoint are very user friendly . extensive training is not needed . very well built especially for government contracting company
there are no cons really . i heard that they are costly , but i don ' t know how much it is exactly since i ' m not involved in its procurement .
great user experience . the scalability of this product allows it to perform for any size organization or application .
need to streamline screens needed for client invoicing . this process is a bit too involved and would benefit from a few less processes .
the software seems to be powerful . it combines project accounting , resource management , project management , time / expense management and business development in one product . deltek is easily accessible in it ' s web - based format .
too many places to look for the information that i need . reports generated include far too much irrelevant information . not near user - friendly enough for ' general use ' .
the software works well , and if you take advantage of the workshops and learning tools , it can do a myriad of tasking for you , with reporting at your fingertips .
i love the windows based functionality . the product works well for all company sizes . we use it for government contracting and it is easy to set up and maintain . the support services are very good and the experts typically know their stuff .
it ' s expensive , and you pay extra for the top level support . training does not come with the software package so you have to take their classes ( for an additional fee ) or hire a consulting team . we went with a consultant . next time , i ' d go with deltek . . .
it ' s been a few years since i have used the software but from what i remember it was a great product .
there are so many different modules that can be set up and all used together to get reporting done accurately . i liked that the employees travel reports could be entered and reviewed . i liked all of the different options for what reports we could run . it has a lot of options you just have to figure out how to use the product to get the most out of it .
setting up some of the modules was time consuming and a little difficult . maybe a better training or a video could be done for hands on help .
i like deltek and have used it for years now it works well for what it is .
great report compatibility . looks rather self - explanatory making things easy to figure out without a lot of hassle . really if you know what your doing this is a great system to use .
feels a little out of date with the interface , but really its a good system and clean looking . it doesn ' t have a lot of flash and that ' s just right .
we love the ease of use . the accessibility of accessing vision anywhere , not just at the office . pm ' s love being able to stay on top of their projects profits .
deltek provides a great single source software solution for managing and running a medium to large size professional services firms such as those in the engineering and architectural fields . it is important that the platform be used as closely to
out - of - the - box
as possible . while the system is customizable , it is best to use the configurability capability of the system and avoid significant customization of the product to reduce future pain from updates and system fixes .
the deltek vision platform provides an
one - source
integrated package for the executive team to understand the state of the business which combines data from accounting , sales and business development , marketing intelligence , project management , resource planning and hr and staff information and management tools without the need to integrate separate software solutions . the developing mobile platform and apps will further enhance this platform solution .
prior to the introduction and development of the iaccess portal , the systems were cumbersome and difficult to use for the user that did not spend a majority of their time in the deltek vision portal . those challenges are quickly being addressed as iaccess portal is further refined and developed .
i ' ve been using this software for over 11 years for accounting , time sheets and expense reports . the system is easy to navigate and i only had to walk through the steps one time when showing a newbie how to navigate the system . i give it a thumbs up .
the only problem that i have discovered is that a few of our employees using the mobile app upload their receipts on their phone . that shows indicates its in the and there might be a glitch in the system that once it shows you have an attachment but when reviewing it i get an error message that there is no attachment to view .
when using this software , it is easy to maneuver from one screen to another . you don ' t have to close out of a section you are working in to go into another section . you can customize the cells to your preferences of entering .
there are not enough options to create reports and pull certain information . there were better reporting options in costpoint 6 . this makes it more time consuming because you have to use other programs such as cognos to get all the information that you need to do your job .
i overall enjoy the product , and have enjoyed it for many years now . i do recommend this software for project based industries , but i would like to see some reporting enhancements and more customization features .
it ' s a one - stop - shop for project management and hr . there really isn ' t a need for other software programs , and minimizes the use of excel . it ' s so easy to use that it ' s hard to use , but once you understand it ' s basic functionality , you pretty much understand the way the software works .
if there ' s an option that i want , like adding a new billing status , that is not easy to do . report writing should be an option all of the time - there are very specific reports that i want and it ' s not easy to get that - i usually have to pull 3 - 4 reports , export into excel and format myself . i don ' t want to have to active the cloud , learn sql server / vision studio and reporting , and upload to be able to get the report that i want . other than those things , the software is brilliant .
i enjoy working with this software . it has made a huge impact on efficiency in our office . i have recommended to others and will continue to do so !
the software is user friendly and reporting is on point . the project command center makes getting information on a project easy .
we have contracts with multiple tasks . each task under a contract has to be entered into the system as a project . which is fine because we need to track each task but it would be nice if we could track the contract as a whole too .
deltek is very user friendly and very easy to use . i ' ve used several deltek platforms through the years and i really enjoy there approach . it ' s easy to download almost any report as a word doc , excel doc or pdf .
it ' s really difficult to close jobs from the database , eventually server storage could be an issue . i wish customer service was better , however i have no problems recommending the product .
the platform is user - friendly and the report system is top - notch . getting information on a project is easy courtesy of the project command centre .
they offer little training on how to use the software , they offer customer support only through customer service portal case submission . the backend is not user - friendly
in just fifteen minutes , the experts at software advice can help you narrow down the right software for your organization .
