HIKE + TECH

HIKE + TECH

Nairobi's tech calendar is packed with demo days, pitch nights, and conference halls that all start to blur together. HIKE + TECH is a break from that routine. On Saturday, October 10, 2026, the tech community is heading up Ngong Hills for a morning with fewer slides and more switchbacks, and less small talk and more real conversation. Nairobi is becoming a big name in fintech, climate tech, and AI, but the biggest bottleneck isn't money or ideas. It's how well the people building these things actually know each other. So we're putting founders, engineers, and investors side by side on a trail, where stamina counts for more than job titles.

HIKE + TECH: Nairobi's Tech Community Hits the Trail

The people are the whole point. You'll meet startup founders, software engineers, product leads, investors, and the operators who keep Nairobi's tech companies running. You won't leave with a stack of business cards, but you will get honest time with peers in a place where people really talk. Walking up Ngong Hills has a way of loosening everyone up, so conversations about hiring, funding, scaling, and the day to day of building in East Africa come easily. Bring your questions, because the person next to you has probably been through the same thing.

Nairobi's tech scene has grown fast, but the places where people connect as humans haven't kept up. HIKE + TECH is a small step toward fixing that. It's a morning spent building the kind of relationships that last longer than any single deal or product launch. Bring your trail shoes, bring a colleague, and bring the version of you that isn't performing. The hills will do the rest.

An early start means cooler air, clearer views, and a whole day still ahead of you. Spots for events like this tend to fill up, so grab yours early.
