What can you really do with KSh 40,000 in Kenya today? For some, it might feel like pocket change — barely enough to survive a month.
But for others, like Rose, it was the key to building something real. Something profitable. Something empowering.
And with a little help fromUpsell, Rose didn’t just start a business — she built a brand.
It Started With Frustration — and a Dream
Rose was like many young Kenyans: hardworking, ambitious, and tired of waiting.
After countless job applications and small gigs that barely paid, she sat in her bedsitter one evening with just over KSh 40,000 in savings and one burning question: “Can I actually start a real business with this?”
That moment changed everything.
Discovering a Low-Cost, High-Profit Opportunity
Like many hustlers, Rose learned a lot from TikTok, YouTube, and late-night Google searches.
With five years of experience, he merges creativity with strategy to elevate brands. He specializes in storytelling and digital marketing, helping small and medium-sized businesses succeed in a competitive landscape.
