What if the next big opportunity for your business is simply being in the room? 👀

At Founders Exchange Marketplace, you’re not just attending another business event. You’re stepping into a community where founders meet people who can connect them to ideas, solutions, suppliers, partnerships and opportunities.

As our Executive Director, Catherine Kariuki reminds us, everyone is welcome in the room — whether you’re already running a business, exploring an idea, looking to learn, or simply curious about what other founders are building.

Come with questions.
Come ready to connect.
Come ready to learn.

And most importantly, come ready to grow. 🚀

See you at Founders Exchange October Edition🤝🏾

What happens to your business when you’re no longer there?

As founders, we’re all working to make money and build successful businesses. But beyond the money, there’s a bigger question: Are we building something that can outlive us?

Happi Kilongosi, a legacy consultant, reminds us that building a business also means being strategic about the legacy we want to leave behind.

Your business should not only uplift you today. It should have the structure, vision and potential to grow beyond you and create an impact for years to come.

Because if we’re putting in all this effort to build businesses that drive the economy, why not build businesses that can live beyond us?

Build for today. Build for tomorrow. Build a legacy.

Founders don’t have to figure it all out alone. 🤝🏾

Founders Network — a community of associates and business professionals within SFA who bring their expertise, connections and experience to help founders solve challenges, make better decisions and grow their businesses.

Because sometimes, growth isn’t just about having more money. It’s about having the right people around you.

Business comes in cycles. There are good seasons, slow seasons, unexpected opportunities and unexpected challenges.

The question is: what are you doing with the good seasons?

Instead of consuming everything you make, create room to save, invest and build a financial cushion. Start small if you have to, but make it a habit.

Because the money you set aside today could be what gives your business room to breathe tomorrow.

Build when you can, so you’re prepared when you must.

Catalyst is one of the communities within SFA created to help founders access dignified loans that support real business growth.

Because getting funding shouldn’t mean giving up your peace, your dignity, or your future.

Through Catalyst, founders can connect to financing opportunities designed to help them grow, strengthen and scale their businesses.

If your business is ready for the next step, Catalyst could be the community for you.

Great businesses are built on great conversations.

Because sometimes, the right conversation can open the right door.

The value of a business community is found in the conversations, connections, and opportunities it creates.

At the Founders Exchange Marketplace, entrepreneurs and business leaders came together to share experiences, build meaningful connections, explore new opportunities, and learn from one another.

We spoke to one of our exhibitors from &r media collective about their experience at the Marketplace and what stood out for them.

This is what happens when founders have the right room to connect, collaborate, and do business.

Thank you, Marju Tiles, for bringing the energy and being part of the Founders Exchange.

Sometimes, funds can remain sitting in accounts simply because the beneficiary or next of kin cannot be reached. And when accounts remain inactive, there are legal processes that determine what happens to those funds.

But it doesn't stop with money. What about land, investments, businesses, or other assets that your family may not even know exist?

This is why having a clear plan for your assets and beneficiaries matters. Make sure what you build can be found, accessed and passed on.
