Harambee Concept

Harambee is a Swahili word for pulling together.

eHarambee is simply electronic Harambee

eHarambee is a platform that allows communities to pool ideas and resources for the common good®

This is what is called Crowdfunding: where someone with an idea that requires resources to implement goes to a known crowd of family, friends and supporters to raise the necessary resources.

Crowdfunding Platforms provide the market place for the exchange at a fee in return for payment processing and book keeping in addition to the idea listing

eHarambee.com supports payment in US$ and Kenya shillings

them for the common good®.

Ideas without implementation are just dreams

Market Summary

There are various Crowd-funding Portals that have come up since The ‘Jumpstart Our Business Startups (JOBS) Act was passed. eHarambee.com® stand out because of: Ability to process payment in both US Dollar and Kenya Shillings.

The Ability to process in Kenya Shillings is important because no other portal has the ability to reach the African Market

Reaching the African Market is important for US supporters of ideas because very profitable innovations are available in that Market just waiting for supporters to move them from concept to implementation then VCs and other investors will beat the path to the door to buy them out.

New Castle Entrepreneurs are able to raise US$ funds from family, friends and supporters.

The Opportunity

Delaware has many Small and Medium Businesses looking to raise capital to move ideas from Concept to prototype. Moving ideas from concept to prototype then implementation

provides a challenge to Innovators in Delaware.

The first funds an innovator may have access to are from family, friends and supporters.

eHarambee provides a space for ideas sponsors to clearly define and refine their ideas then offer some incentive to family, friends and supporter to back them.

The idea is that a Concept sponsor should be able to pitch to this first audience before they can hope to sell to a wider audience!
