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.

Seattle Business Pulse

  • Culture Tech-heavy, casual, and values innovation and nature.
  • Lunch Break 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM.
  • Pro Tip The "sweet spot" is 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM. Expect a casual professional environment (lots of tech-casual wear). Networking often happens over coffee; many locals are flexible with virtual meeting times but value their time in nature, so avoid late evening or weekend intrusions.
