Top Tech Startups in Kenya in 2027

Zipline was founded to create the first logistics system that serves all humans equally. We design, manufacture and operate the world’s largest instant logistics and delivery system that is used by businesses, governments and consumers. Zipline is transforming the way goods move, from powering Rwanda’s national blood delivery network and Ghana’s COVID-19 vaccine distribution, to providing on-demand home delivery for e-commerce, to enabling healthcare providers to bring care directly to U.S. homes. The technology is complex, and includes autonomous, electric drones, but the idea is simple: a teleportation service that delivers what you need, when you need it. By transitioning to clean, electric, instant logistics, we can decarbonize delivery, decrease road congestion, and reduce fossil fuel consumption and air pollution, while providing equitable access for billions of people. Zipline operates on three continents (North America, Africa and Asia) and in seven countries - Rwanda, Ghana, the U.S., Nigeria, Japan, Kenya and Côte D’Ivoire. Zipline has made more than 540,000 deliveries to real customers, and currently completes one every 90 seconds. Zipline has flown 40 million autonomous commercial miles, delivered almost 5 million products (including more than 8 million vaccine doses). Zipline has two delivery platforms - a long-range system, Platform 1, and its next-generation home delivery system, Platform 2. Our drones are what people see, but they are only a small percentage of what we do. Behind each delivery is a complex network of airspace deconfliction tools, inventory management, fulfillment software, warehousing, performance management, cold chain storage, and more. Zipline’s instant logistics system is a trusted partner for businesses, governments and consumers, and currently supports the medical, health and retail sectors, delivering blood, vaccines, COVID supplies, prescriptions, e-commerce items, products that support human and animal health, and food.

We have created an app called Grate,the number 1 first food rating, snapping and reviewing app. While most other apps rate restaurants we rate food. We are food-centric and food first. Using this approach, we can harvest a great amount of insight that we can provide to restaurants to help streamline their offerings. The app will make sure that no person ever goes to a restaurant and orders the wrong dish, so typically someone can go to a restaurant, logon to Grate and see the best rated dishes in that restaurant The restaurant, food and beverages industry is a 3 trillion-rand industry in South Africa and we have built the platform to be fully scalable allowing the company to be local with global aspirations. Summary The App provides: a clear view on a dishes ‘value for money’ coefficient which is of great value to customers, events and festivals marketing and engagement platform and a fast-food delivery service

We build and deploy dense networks of cloud-connected "KOKOpoints" inside local corner stores, which serve as consumer access points for goods and services delivered in partnership with major suppliers. Our first consumer solution is a liquid ethanol cooking fuel, which delivers significant cost savings and quality of life improvements in the multi-billion dollar market for urban cooking fuel. This fuels solution is delivered through a Kenyan operating partnership with Vivo Energy, the company which owns and operates Shell-branded fuels distribution infrastructure across Africa.
