Africa doesn’t need to wait for technology built elsewhere.
The best software for a Kenyan restaurant isn’t going to come from Silicon Valley. It’s going to come from someone who understands M-Pesa, knows how a kitchen supervisor actually communicates, and has seen the chaos of managing three branches from a phone call.
That’s what we are. We build software that fits the reality of how business is done here — not software that demands businesses adapt to a foreign model.
The compounding loop.
Every client we work with teaches us something. That knowledge compounds into better software, faster delivery, and deeper understanding of the industries we serve.
People who care about
building it right.
Edwinfred Kamau is the founder and CEO of Lobster Technologies. With a background in electrical and electronics engineering — spanning hardware design and software development — he has spent his career at the intersection of how things work and how they could work better.
He started Lobster because he believes technology should do something real: create genuine value for the people and businesses it touches. That belief shapes everything Lobster builds — systems that fit the way a business actually operates, not the other way around.
“Build it right, or don’t build it at all.”
