Our story
Built by community, for community.
KIPNA grew from a simple but important need: Kenyan professionals working in technology needed a dependable space to find one another, exchange knowledge, and open doors together. Since around 2016, that idea has grown into a multi-country professional network.
Our roots are in the Kenyan diaspora across North America, while our community increasingly reflects the global journeys of our members. What remains constant is a shared commitment to connection, professional growth, service, and opportunity.
