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.

San Francisco Business Pulse

Culture Innovation-focused and casual. Values disruption, speed, and technical excellence.
Lunch Break 12:30 PM - 1:30 PM.
Pro Tip Best reached between 10:00 AM and 4:00 PM. Expect a casual, tech-first vibe—informal language and dress are the norm. However, technical competence and speed are non-negotiable. Many in the Bay Area work non-traditional hours, but standard business times remain the safest bet.
