About
QR Flex lets a business create one QR code for menus, contacts, offers, events, surveys and more. The business can change what the code shows at any time without printing a new QR code.
Impact
QR Flex will help small businesses spend less on printing, share information faster and understand customers through scan data. We aim to equip 50 Kenyan businesses with affordable digital tools they can manage themselves.
Progress
We have built a working platform with frontend and backend systems, dynamic redirection, branded QR codes, digital menus and scan analytics. The product is functional, and our next step is improving it and onboarding pilot businesses.
Team
I have nine years of technical experience and built QR Flex from the ground up, including its frontend, backend and product direction. I understand both the technology and the everyday challenges faced by Kenyan small businesses.

Season totals as displayed on the platform's public accounting — not a statement of amounts paid out. V2 = Venus sales + Venus extras. The original page also broke each season down by fund drive and showed an Available (unclaimed) balance; that level of detail survives only on the preserved snapshots.
