Founded in 2015 by Eric Asuma, the outlet features daily reporting and explainers on capital markets, banking, fintech, corporate deals, regulation, energy and the broader economy. Its team tracks the Nairobi Securities Exchange and other regional bourses, reports earnings and policy shifts, and adds context on cross‑border transactions and investor sentiment. The newsroom produces multimedia journalism. Since 2018, its Kenyan Wallstreet podcast has published hundreds of episodes—more than 750 by mid‑2025—featuring conversations with CEOs, founders, investors and policymakers. Its weekday newsletter, The Daily Brief, distills essential developments for business leaders and policy makers. The Kenyan Wall Street has also built community channels that push real‑time updates to readers across the region. Beyond publishing, the organization has worked with market institutions, including supplying financial news to the Nairobi Securities Exchange mobile app in 2018. The brand operates under Wallstreet Africa Technologies Ltd., reflecting an ambition to pair reportage with digital products. In addition to news and commentary, the platform offers market snapshots and data features aimed at both retail and professional investors. With a core audience of executives, investors, analysts, entrepreneurs and public‑sector decision makers, The Kenyan Wall Street focuses on actionable coverage of sectors that move the economy.
