    Systems, Support & Scale: Inside Kenya's SME Founders Association | Catherine & Reena Gore

    Send us Fan Mail Most SMEs in Kenya never make it past year five. Not because founders lack ambition — but because ambition without systems, governance, and support is a business running on borrowed time.

They dig into the barriers founders rarely talk about publicly — capital, talent, structure — and the practical strategies that turn a founder-dependent hustle into a business that can scale and outlive its owner. In this episode: ✅ The biggest reasons Kenyan SMEs stall — and how to avoid them ✅ How the SME Founders Association is supporting entrepreneurs across the country ✅ Why governance and systems aren't "big company" problems — they're survival tools ✅ Building a business that grows without you in every room Whether you're running a 5-person team or a 50-person company, this episode gives you the mindset and the mechanics to grow. 🎧 New episodes on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Amazon Music & YouTube 🌐 Connect with Reena: www.reenagore.net Support the show
