Friday, March 27th - Another Day in the Field

Today was a great day for our project. We (Patrick, Innocent and Sven Benjamin) met at 9 am at MUBS Annex Campus and gathered in order to decide on how to make the most out of the day. We knew that we needed to be at Makere University at 2 pm to speak with an interesting entrepreneur but the rest of the day was yet unplanned. We decided to crash some "gates" and visited a startup incubator to find out if we could get some quality interviews. We went to Angels HUB and had a nice talk with a 23 old entrepreneur who is facilitating sales between individuals via a mobile app. It was quite impressive how he programmed his app and already had some good traffic on it. We then got surprisingly a skype call with one of our favorite entrepreneurs who created tech4farmers. It is a website and mobile application for farmers so that they can find out about market prices and already put out their offers instead of going to market and maybe wait all day until someone bites the hook. At 2 pm finally we talked to Matibabu, an innovative startup that uses a smartphone extension to carry out malaria tests. Quite impressive what these entrepreneurs are doing.
