About Start Right Entrepreneurship Hub
A Kenya-based business coaching and development firm equipping entrepreneurs with practical tools, systems and training to build businesses the right way — from day one.
Most businesses fail before they truly start
The majority of businesses in Kenya and across Africa fail within their first three years. The primary reason isn't lack of passion or capital — it's lack of proper foundation, systems and practical business knowledge. Most entrepreneurs start wrong and never recover.
Start right, grow right
We provide internationally benchmarked, practically grounded coaching that meets entrepreneurs at every stage — before they start, at launch, and during operation. The work is founder-led and informed by Kelvin Gitau's ILO business-coaching certification and hands-on entrepreneurial experience.
Vision
To be Africa's most trusted entrepreneurship coaching brand — building a generation of founders who start, run and grow businesses the right way.
Mission
To equip aspiring and existing entrepreneurs with practical tools, systems and mentorship that turn ideas into sustainable, ethical and scalable businesses.
