Uwazi Real-Time Fiscal Intelligence for Sovereign Africa

Cover image of Uwazi, Fintech venture on VC4A

Uwazi is a real-time fiscal governance platform that gates government disbursements through 14 automated compliance checks — KRA, NEMA, EACC, SAM.gov, satellite verification, and AI invoice analysis. One failed check permanently holds a transaction. Kenya loses an estimated KES 1.4 trillion annually to unmonitored public expenditure; audits arrive 18 months late and courts dismiss cases on stale evidence. Uwazi solves this with a forensic beneficial ownership map, a 1,420-node mobile citizen sentinel network, a zero-knowledge whistleblower vault, SHA-256 court-admissible audit trails, and a ghost worker audit engine. Built solo with zero funding. Presented to 16 World Bank FM officials in Nairobi on 21 April 2026 — formal follow-up received same evening. LSK CEO escalated to the LSK President within 23 minutes of first contact. Raising $500K pre-seed.
Validated by World Bank FM officials and Law Society of Kenya CEO. Seeking $500K pre-seed. $415K Year 1 ARR target.
