About Upeo Africa Technologies
Upeo Africa Technologies is a software company on Moi Avenue in Mombasa, Kenya, building for businesses across Africa since 2019. We have delivered 791 projects across software engineering, design, and digital marketing, and nine in ten of our clients either come back or refer someone.
Our Story
“Upeo” speaks to reach and possibility, and that is exactly what we set out to give you.
We started with a simple belief: businesses across Africa deserve world-class digital work, built by people who understand their context and who can take them all the way from idea to growth.
So we built one team that does it all: engineers, designers, and marketers working side by side. You never juggle three agencies or lose work in the handover, because one partner is accountable for the outcome.
Today, from our base on Moi Avenue in Mombasa, we are the long-term partner behind products, brands, and campaigns used every day across Africa, and we are just getting started.

What We Stand For
Before we write a line of code for you, this is what you are signing up for: what we are here to do, where we are headed, and what we will not cut corners on.
Our mission
To help African businesses grow through technology and marketing that is genuinely built for them: practical, reliable, and effective.
Our vision
An Africa where any ambitious business can reach world-class software and marketing, close to home, from a team that understands its context.
Our values
Craft over shortcuts, clarity over jargon, and long-term partnerships over one-off projects. We sweat the details that decide whether work actually lasts.

Uniting African Talent to Build for Africa
Upeo Africa Technologies was founded in 2019 by Emanuel Soita with a clear vision: to make the African continent feel like one connected village where we engineer and scale our own solutions.
We bring together founders, builders, and creators from across Africa to form a formidable, unified team. As Chief Executive Officer, Emanuel remains a full-stack developer who still ships code alongside the team, ensuring that our high-level vision is grounded in technical rigor, honest timelines, and reliable execution.
By combining regional expertise in engineering, design, and growth marketing under one banner, we empower African businesses to solve local challenges with world-class software.

Why Clients Choose Us
These are the commitments you can hold us to on every project, from the first scope through to the support you get long after launch.
End-to-End Synergy
Stop playing referee between a design team, an offshore dev shop, and a marketing agency. We bring engineering, UI/UX, and growth strategy into one room under one contract. Every product we ship is designed to scale and built to sell, with absolute accountability from day one.
African Payment Mastery
Navigating pan-African checkout rails isn't something an offshore team should learn on your dime. From M-Pesa and Airtel Money to regional card switches and bank transfers, we engineer seamless, battle-tested payment experiences that keep your conversion rates high and failure rates low.
700+ Ships & Proven Retention
We don't measure success in launched code; we measure it in long-term momentum. With over 791 projects delivered since 2019, 90% of our business comes from clients who return or send us their network. The people who know our work best are the ones who keep trusting us.
Architectural & Data Security
Security isn't a patch you buy after a breach--it's built into the foundation. We bake enterprise-grade encryption, strict access control, automated backups, and real-time monitoring directly into your system's architecture before a single line of client data touches it.
100% IP & Code Ownership
Your platform is your asset, period. Once the project is delivered, full intellectual property rights, repositories, and cloud access belong entirely to you in writing. We keep our client partnerships thriving through exceptional execution, never by holding codebase keys hostage.
SLA-Backed Reliability
Launch day is just the beginning. Our Service Level Agreements commit us to target response times under one hour for critical operational issues. We keep your systems monitored, updated, and performing reliably long after your go-live party ends.
