If we got to 50 guests daily, we would be ramen profitable, life in Nairobi is much cheaper than in SF. We can live in hostels at our uni, for so long as our 4 year study program is still on, it costs US $50, a year. We can also live on $2, a day for three of us' meals.

Ok, so you guys will be hard to kill. That's a very good quality to have for a start-up.

How will you convince the first hotel owners to start using your service? How will you find and convince the first users (you will have to choose one or two mediums in the beginning)?

We intend to leverage on the fact that Kenya's hospitality market has had some issues the past two years and occupancy levels have dipped to about 20%. For customers we will use mainly townhalls and referrals
