Our Founder's Story
Inspired by visionary software engineers worldwide, Beko Saimon Peter embarked on a mission to transform the digital landscape of Trans Nzoia County.
Witnessing the challenges faced by local sellers who lacked advanced digital platforms to showcase and sell their products, Beko recognized a critical gap in the market. Traditional commerce methods were limiting the growth potential of small businesses and entrepreneurs across the county.
The idea first sparked in 2024, driven by a passion to leverage technology for solving real-world problems. What began as a vision to empower local sellers soon evolved into a comprehensive e-commerce solution that would serve not just Trans Nzoia, but eventually customers across Kenya.
"I believed that every seller, regardless of their location or scale, deserves access to the same digital opportunities that power global commerce. ogen was born from this belief."- Beko Saimon Peter, Founder
