As a fourth-generation Kenyan, our founder, Ashish’s journey into entrepreneurship was driven by a passion for innovation and a desire to give back to his community.

Having moved to the U.S for college and earning both his bachelor's and master's degrees in Computer Science, Ashish spent 15 years in New York working in various roles across different industries. But despite the successes and experiences he gained, Ashish felt a calling to return home to Kenya in 2020.

Ashish then joined Antler Nairobi, a tech accelerator program fostering innovation and collaboration among aspiring entrepreneurs. It was at Antler that Ashish realized a significant gap in the market: many emerging tech companies lacked the technical expertise needed to thrive. Ashish saw an opportunity to bridge this gap by founding alphathesis.

At alphathesis, Ashish seeks to empower both startups and aspiring engineers, fostering a culture of innovation and growth in Kenya's tech ecosystem. Every placement represents not just a job but a chance for someone to fulfill their potential and contribute to our collective success.

Our vision at alphathesis is twofold:

To provide essential technical support to burgeoning startups.

To create opportunities for the next generation of engineers in Kenya.

This dual mission resonated deeply with Ashish, reflecting his belief in the power of education and opportunity to transform lives through alphathesis.
