We have completed week 1 of YEPI-SEED Coursework!

Participants explored Module 1: Business Model, where they learnt on how to identify problems worth solving, conducted deep customer analysis, and unpacked their ideas and businesses using the Business Model Canvas.

The week was filled with experiential learning, powerful teamwork, and hands-on engagement with real business scenarios that pushed participants to think critically and creatively.

With this strong foundation in place, we are energized and ready to kick off Week 2 as we continue transforming ideas into impactful ventures.

We were excited to partner with the Influence Exchange on a powerful debate forum centred on youth economic inclusion through entrepreneurship and employment.

Hearing the diverse perspectives shared during the debate reminded us that a thriving economy is built on balance — a hybrid system where both entrepreneurship and employment grow side by side.

As part of YEPI’s commitment to strengthening the entrepreneurial ecosystem, we encourage women entrepreneurs to apply for the Women and Girls Accelerator Program - WGAP Kenya
