We advise East African technology ventures, fintechs, B2B platforms, and high-growth scale-ups on commercial unit economics, investor-ready financial models, cap-table and corporate secretarial governance, due diligence preparation, and regional expansion.
SECTOR 05 // TECHNOLOGY & SCALE-UPS
High-growth technology businesses in Kenya's 'Silicon Savannah' often scale product and user adoption rapidly—only to hit a wall during institutional Series A/B fundraising or strategic M&A due diligence when investors uncover unreconciled payment ledgers, informal contractor tax exposures, or messy multi-jurisdictional cap tables.
Wealth Matrix Limited helps founders and scale-up boards institutionalize their financial reporting, validate true unit economics, clean up Kenyan subsidiary governance and tax records, and build investor-ready Virtual Data Rooms.
Our technology sector practice focuses on six critical scale-up priorities.

Discuss This WorkstreamPreparing your management team to answer institutional diligence questions with evidence.
Are gross transaction volumes (GMV) clearly separated from true earned net revenue and take-rates in the accounting ledger?
Does each new customer or transaction generate positive contribution margin after direct payment, logistics, and support costs?
How many months of runway remain under conservative revenue assumptions, and how are USD vs. KES treasury balances matched?
Are cross-border software licensing or management fees between a foreign HoldCo (e.g., Delaware/Mauritius) and the Kenyan OpCo compliant with KRA rules?
Are founder share allotments, SAFE/convertible note conversions, and developer IP assignments properly documented?
Where the business touches payments, lending, or personal data, are CBK, ODPC, or sector compliance requirements addressed with legal counsel?
