Top SchoolSawe Edna is a software entrepreneur and product leader with nine years of experience building energy-focused technology ventures across Kenya and the region. As co-founder of U-Pawa and founder of Biopane Energy, she combines blockchain-enabled peer-to-peer energy trading and bio-propane generation to expand clean energy access in off-grid and low-income communities. She also represents FasterCapital’s startup ecosystem, bringing hands-on product development experience from roles at BRCK and MEST to support early-stage founders.
