From Side Hustles to Startups: David Kimani on Money, Risk & Reinvention

Deskripsi

From earning $90 a day in post-war Libya to running a multi-million-shilling travel business, losing it all, and then raising $100K for his next venture, David Kimani’s journey is nothing short of remarkable. In this episode of Financially Incorrect, he opens up about the highs and lows of building Vacay Holiday Deals, a travel company that hit Ksh 82 million in bookings before everything came crashing down. He shares how he turned loss into learning, why every entrepreneur needs a SACCO, and the mindset shifts that helped him rebuild from scratch to launch Nesti, his new proptech startup. From saving his first salary to navigating business failure and financial fraud, David’s story is a powerful reminder that resilience, not luck, builds lasting success — and that sometimes losing money is the tuition you pay for real growth.
