What is Verta?
More than a company. A growing ecosystem.
Verta Group is a Kenyan-founded business group building practical ventures across technology, healthcare, agriculture and emerging areas of innovation.
We bring together ideas, people, technology and businesses under one broader vision: building practical solutions that create lasting value.

The starting point
Innovation is where it starts.
We believe meaningful businesses begin with meaningful problems.
We look at problems, opportunities and changing needs.
We explore ideas and build practical solutions.
We test what works. When an idea can grow, we turn it into a venture.

Innovation areas
Four ways we explore what matters.
Digital Innovation
Most technology problems worth solving aren't really about the technology. They're a slow process, a workaround nobody questioned, or a decision that takes longer than it should because the right information isn't where it needs to be. We start by understanding how something actually works today, then figure out where software, automation or better infrastructure genuinely helps.
In practiceOften that's a focused internal tool built for one real workflow, not a sprawling platform built for every possible one.
Health Innovation
Healthcare innovation, done well, is mostly about timing. The same piece of guidance is far more useful before a problem develops than after it becomes urgent. Verta Afya is where we explore how to put clear, trustworthy preventive information in front of someone earlier, in language that doesn't require a medical background to follow.
In practiceThat means plain guidance reaching someone before a routine concern turns into an emergency, not a dashboard full of numbers after the fact.
Agricultural Innovation
A lot of farming decisions get made with less information than they deserve, not because the knowledge doesn't exist but because it's hard to reach at the right moment. Kilimo Hub is our attempt to close that gap: practical, farmer-first information and decision support, built around how those decisions actually get made in the field.
In practiceIn practice, that's a farmer checking something useful on a phone instead of guessing or waiting to ask around.
Emerging Opportunities
Not every good idea fits neatly inside an existing venture. When we notice a problem worth taking seriously — through our own work, a conversation, or something a partner brings to us — we treat it as a starting point worth exploring properly, the same way VertaTech, Verta Afya and Kilimo Hub each began.
In practiceUsually that's a quiet exploration phase long before it becomes a name on the Companies page.
Work in progress
Building around needs people already feel.
Our ventures are taking practical shape. Here is what Verta Afya and Kilimo Hub are being built to make better.
01
Preventive health
Verta Afya
We are developing a preventive-health direction that can help people act earlier, understand everyday health risks and access clearer guidance before a concern becomes urgent.
See what we are buildingWhat we are working toward
- Make prevention easier to understand
- Support earlier, informed action
- Keep useful health guidance accessible
Intended impactMore informed choices and stronger prevention habits.
02
Digital agriculture
Kilimo Hub
We are working on an agriculture app designed around the farmer's day-to-day reality, bringing useful information, farm support and opportunity closer to one practical digital place.
Explore the farmer appWhat we are working toward
- Useful farm information in one place
- Better access to practical guidance
- A clearer path to agricultural opportunities
Intended impactHelp farmers make better-informed decisions with less friction.
Why Verta
What actually makes us different.
We start from the problem
Not a product idea looking for a market. Every venture begins with a real, specific problem worth solving properly.
We build companies, not just projects
VertaTech Solutions, Verta Afya and Kilimo Hub are run as real businesses with their own purpose, not internal experiments.
One team, shared standards
The same discipline that built VertaTech's delivery track record shapes how we approach healthcare and agriculture too.
A working track record
15+ commercial projects delivered, including MED21, a preventive healthcare initiative now launching across Africa.
African roots.
Global ambition.
Our perspective
Built in Kenya. Designed for Africa. Open to the World.
We build from an African context, with respect for the realities, ambition and opportunities found across the continent.
African roots. Global ambition.

MED21: Doanh Chau's Vision to Transform Healthcare Across Africa
Doanh Chau isn't building another app that waits for people to get sick. Through MED21, he's pursuing a model that identifies risk earlier, starting in Ghana with ambitions across Africa.

Ideas are cheap. What's rare is the discipline to take one somewhere. Here's the difference between an idea and a venture, and why Verta Group is built around the second one.

It's tempting to start with a solution and go looking for a problem it might fit. We try to do the opposite, and sit with a problem longer than feels comfortable.
