About Us
About KBL
A selective founder community in Rwanda for builders aged 18-35. Online first, events when we plan them.
Why we exist
Founders often have the product but not capital or warm investor intros. Backers want tech exposure but lack a trusted pipeline of builders.
KBL is one selective community for both: an online forum, mentors, and in-person events when we schedule them.
See the BlueprintInvestors & backers
A trusted circle of startup founders aged 18-35, building ventures that can scale, with technology involved and openness to AI.
Where they meet
Forum, mentors, and events where founders and investors meet with context.

Founder, Keynus Blueprint Launch
- Software engineer · Europe & Rwanda
- Founder
I spent years in corporate as a software engineer, in Europe and in Rwanda, building products across borders, stacks, and business models. I attended many tech events and meetups along the way. What stayed constant is this: the hardest part was never the code. It was finding founders who would tell me the truth about my numbers and still cheer when I shipped.
Keynus Blueprint Launch is the community I wanted at 22. A selective place for AI and tech founders first, and for operators in agriculture, ecommerce, and trade who are serious about building infrastructure-level businesses that will run on systems and AI, not spreadsheets forever.
I started Keynus to combine what works online (founder forum, peer accountability, mentor access) with what only happens in person (retreats, dinners, trips worth travelling for). Not another seminar circuit, a network that shows up.
