Episode 11 | Hustle Sasa - The Shopify For African Creators with Peng Chen

I’m super-excited about this conversation with Peng Chen - the Co-founder of Hustle Sasa!

Peng has worked on a wide range of innovative business ventures in Kenya ranging from a social enterprise waste management company to launching Kenya's first global mobile taxi app (Easy Taxi with Rocket Internet), to co-founding and running one of East Africa's most successful cultural spaces and music venues, The Alchemist Bar, a creative hub in the heart of Nairobi City. 

The Alchemist is known for its great live music and food! I’ve been there several times and enjoyed the open ambiance and the free-spirited vibe I get. The Alchemist is known to host a diverse collection of wacky and determined entrepreneurs who sell food, fashion, music, and more. 

During the podcast, Peng’s word of advise to upcoming founders is:

“Problems are worth getting excited about because it brings you closer to your dream. “

Peng is also the founder of Hustle Sasa, a mobile app that makes selling online super-easy. Hustle Sasa provides its creators an integrated experience to create an online store, manage payment and delivery with access to data.

Here is a startup that I’m definitely excited about! With a clearly defined need, Hustle Sasa has built a product that can be used by millions of people and with a great visionary leader like Peng Chen - I’m rooting for them all the way!
