Social Media & Content Intern

Social Media & Content Intern — Biashara Day

Company Overview

Biashara Day is a venture capital firm backing early-stage founders in Kenya, Rwanda, and Congo Brazzaville.

Alongside the firm itself, we work closely with a portfolio of associated companies operating across the region, and we tell the stories of the founders, markets, and ecosystem we're building. This internship sits at the centre of that storytelling work.
