About Elom Labs

For nearly a decade we've partnered with technology leaders to rapidly scale their teams and meet their toughest business challenges.

We think we're pretty good at it.

From humble beginnings to East Africa's premier engineering partner.

Founded in Nairobi, Kenya in 2016, Elom Labs was built on a simple mission: connect Africa's top 1% software engineers with companies that need world-class technology talent.

What started as a small team of passionate engineers has grown into a full-service technology consultancy and innovation lab — with a track record spanning FinTech, HealthTech, AgriTech, and beyond.

"We were remote-first before remote-first was the norm."
