Nairobi Business Pulse

Culture Energetic and entrepreneurial. Tech hub of East Africa ("Silicon Savannah").
Lunch Break 1:00 PM - 2:00 PM.
Pro Tip Call between 10:00 AM and 12:30 PM. The tech scene is very vibrant and mobile-first. Personal relationships are vital; take a few minutes for "Small Talk" before jumping into business. Be patient with potential internet stability and have a backup messaging option ready.

New York City Business Pulse

Culture Fast-paced and direct. Punctuality is highly valued, and meetings often get straight to business.
Lunch Break Often "on-the-go" between 12:30 PM and 1:30 PM.
Pro Tip Mornings (9:30 AM - 11:30 AM) are best for high-energy discussions. After 4:00 PM EST, most professionals are wrapping up or in "commute mode," making it a poor time for complex topics. Keep your pitch concise—New Yorkers value their time and appreciate directness over lengthy pleasantries.
