Who We Are

The A Billion Startups Program is an initiative of  Glass House PR, a premier media and PR company based in Kenya. The program aims to transform Africa’s economies by providing a nurturing eco-system that fosters startup entrepreneurs and works to help them grow, succeed and excel with excellence. We exist to inspire and empower entrepreneurs young and old to dig deep within to find the keys that will unlock Africa’s divine potential and bring novel unseen realities to bear, and in doing so tell a different and more authentic African story.
