The Genesis of Founders' Battlefield: A Personal Odyssey

Michael Anthony Macharia's entrepreneurial journey began 25 years ago when he founded Seven Seas Technologies at just 25 years old.

Over the decades, he built transformative businesses and created high-impact solutions within Africa's challenging IT landscape. Yet, this journey was far from smooth. He grappled with fierce competition, navigating a landscape of scarcity, and faced broken promises that tested his resolve.

The Personal Battle
