Worth Noting:
- Being an entrepreneur makes me work on my goals and business unlimited because am able to plan my time the best way and focus on what’s important. It’s also not easy being an entrepreneur because you must be able to take risks, own up to your mistakes and account for everything. It’s not easy being one, but the journey of becoming one is exciting
- Mistakes are very important because you learn from them and every young entrepreneur has his/her own. Waiting long before venturing in business really delaying me and dealing with finances. If you don’t plan and run your finances well your business won’t get anywhere.
My name is Ben Karume. Am young Kenyan Entrepreneur with interest in Technology. A college dropout software developer who is passionate in developing Tech solutions. My first business was a cyber cafe that was situated at Dagoretti corner. It happened that my boss who had fell short of capital to pay rent and run the cafe sold the facility to me in instalments and that’s how my first business came to be. But it only ran for 5 months then I sold it. I had a passion in softwares n apps and in 2019 I thought of building an ecommerce site that connects shoppers directly to sellers, with ease and transparent connected to a delivery system and pick up agents. Something that’s still on course. In 2021 I developed a travel metasearch app that connects travellers to all their travel needs at once, at ease. Travellers can choose best hotel deals, flights, Airbnb’s, tour and travel deals n others from one place.
Pazuri Kenya is a digital travel metasearch app company that offers a platform to Tours & Travel companies, places of accommodation or stay, Car and Rentals(chauffeured/self-drive), flight and train booking services.
My day starts at 6am in the morning. I wake up plan my day, meditate and then exercise. I then get to work on what I’ve scheduled for the day before retiring at 10PM

I make use of the internet and look out for trending things, ideas and what people want or don’t want.
I use social media well to connect with people and get to know what’s is it that people want or what can be improved. Twitter is my best social site. I can be reached @ Ben Karume on all social site.
Entrepreneurship is a race of resilience, sacrifice and navigating risks and success lies on a road that is flatter and wider than it has ever been. The catalyst for opportunity today is the entrepreneurs mind, but tarry is to risk your precious contributions. When starting a company, you are signing up for YEARS of rejection, failure, and inadequacy. And yet, the smallest wins make it all worth it
