video length
Your story. One honest video. One chance to change everything.
Your brief
That is the entire brief. Be specific — the more real and detailed your story is, the stronger your entry will be. This is not a production competition. It's a story competition.
What is your entrepreneurial dream?
What do you need to learn to make it happen?
Speak Swahili, English, or a mix — all welcome. One honest take beats ten rehearsed ones.
Built for Kenya
From Nairobi to Kisumu, Mombasa to Eldoret — young Kenyans are building the next generation of businesses. Tell us yours.
What wins
Two real examples — same brief, very different answers. Notice the difference.
My dream is to start a chicken farm in Nakuru that supplies Nairobi restaurants. I already have 50 birds. What I need to learn is feed cost management and how to get a Hustler Fund loan so I can scale to 500 birds before the end of the year.
Specific. Personal. Actionable. This is what wins.
My dream is to be a successful entrepreneur and help my community. I want to learn business skills so I can grow my business and become successful in Kenya.
Too vague. What business? What skill? Be real.

No. A video filmed on a basic Android phone scores the same as one filmed professionally. Judges watch for your story, not your studio.
