Kesholabs team exudes confidence

Kenyan blockchain technology start up, Kesholabs was recently named as one of the finalists from CeloCamp blockchain accelerator program. Kesholabs is one out of five tech start ups from Africa to make it to the finals.

In total 18 finalists will compete for the first prize of $10,000 while the runner-up will pocket $5,000. Three teams chosen by public voting are set to receive $2,000 each.

The CeloCamp initiative is sponsored by the open-source payments network Celo, and it seeks to foster the development of an open financial system accessible by mobile phone prior to the network’s own launch.

Roseylene Wanjiru, the chief marketing officer with Kesholabs, recently spoke to AfricaBlockchainMedia about Kesholabs’ recognition by the Celo community and the mood of the team going forward.

“We honoured to be part of the 18 finalists selected globally out of the many teams that expressed interest in participating in the Celo Camp. This (recognition) can be attributed to the tireless efforts by Nhial Majok (CEO) and his team on one hand and the Celo team on the other to build on their protocol our Pesabase app,” said Wanjiru.

Pesabase is a payment platform which will make it as easy
