Mubarak Muyika is a young African native of Kenya with the young age of twenty years. This man had a rough upbringing as he became an orphan when he was only ten years old. Despite his challenging start, he became very tech savvy and started thinking up products and companies. His first launch was a company named Hypecentury Technologies. This company was a web hosting company where people can create their websites. Later on in his life, he was offered to attend Harvard University with a scholarship but turned it down. This man knew what he wanted, and he didn’t see it in an esteemed college. He wanted to be an entrepreneur. After selling his first company for a pretty penny, he went on to his next venture, Zagace Limited. This company contains the format “Zag apps” which is comprised of tools to help companies manage accounting, payroll, stock management and more. Mubarak Muyika took a considerable risk of losing a very easy and certainly successful life had he gone to Harvard, and chose to pursue his passion of Entrepreneurship.
It shows his passion and trust in what he wanted to do. It would take a lot of guts to pass up an opportunity like that! But the characteristics he displays I think are definitely one of an entrepreneur!
This is very inspiring. Although he had a not so great childhood he never gave up. Turning down a scholarship to Harvard would be tough, but he knew his passion and went after it.
What an incredibly story. To truly be at the point of having nothing and working hard to create and build your own company like this is truly amazing.
