About UpCheckAI
Connecting the world's AI innovation with East Africa's exceptional talent.
Our Story
“East African talent didn't just compete. They were chosen.”
Before starting UpCheckAI, Clement was hired by a US company that had a large international workforce. People from Tunisia, Egypt, Pakistan, Bangladesh, India, the Philippines and more. The company made a decision to replace that entire team with Kenyans. Not just add a few, but move the whole operation over, and commit to hiring Kenyan going forward.
That decision was the clearest signal Clement had ever seen. A US company looked at talent from across the world and chose to build entirely on Kenyan professionals. He started UpCheckAI so that more companies could find and work with that same talent.
