UzapointThe Story
Summary
Abraham founded Uzapoint, a Nairobi-based point-of-sale and bookkeeping platform for small businesses. Coverage runs from its official 2020 registration and a June 2023 Google for Startups fund to a December 2025 first runner-up finish at Africa's Business Heroes, where Abraham won $250,000.
Details
Abraham is from Kenya and has a degree in management information systems from Strathmore University. A 2023 We Are Tech Africa profile credits Abraham with founding Uzapoint, a startup that aims to automate operations for small and mid-sized businesses. The profile puts the official registration of Uzapoint in 2020. It also lists a Tech Entrepreneur of the Year award from 2017 among Abraham's earlier recognitions.
The 2023 profile describes Uzapoint as a mobile and web point-of-sale app. It digitizes accounting for small and mid-sized businesses and gives them access to financial services. The profile also says Uzapoint offers merchants an e-commerce storefront to help them sell their products. The same profile says Uzapoint works with more than 1,000 businesses in Africa.
The profile says Uzapoint was selected in June 2023 by Google for Startups for the third cohort of its Black Founders Fund. It reports the package as non-dilutive: $150,000 in cash and $200,000 in Google Cloud credits, plus individual mentoring. The profile also lists Abraham in second place in the best personality of the year category at the 2023 Kenya E-commerce Awards.
A partner feature from November 2025 in How we made it in Africa names Abraham as a Kenyan cofounder of Uzapoint. It describes Uzapoint as offering digital point-of-sale tools and embedded financing to help small shops, and says more than 3,500 businesses now use the platform. In December 2025, The New Times reported that Abraham took the first runner-up spot at the competition's seventh grand finale, winning $250,000. The same report says ten finalists were selected.
The December 2025 New Times article says Uzapoint has served over 3,500 businesses across seven markets. It says Uzapoint aims to expand to 20 markets within five years and to grow the number of SMEs it transforms to about 200,000. The article adds that Uzapoint plans to create training programs and an SME campus to teach businesses why bookkeeping matters and how to do it well. These are stated plans, not results.
