More than a space

House Kigali is more than a workspace, we’re the 24/7 throbbing heart of impact entrepreneuring in East Africa, and home to 1,300+ world class talent, entrepreneurs, business leaders and support systems. We’re equal parts ecosystem catalyst and a one-stop hub of hubs.

Work next to nature

Prefer sitting outside? We've got you covered! Settle down for some focus time in our outdoor pergola, or have a quick chat on any of our outdoor benches. No matter where you choose, you'll be surrounded by lush vegetation.

Women in business

Every year we help more than a dozen women entrepreneurs building tech-enabled SMEs with resources that supercharge their growth and prepare them for scaling their business ventures.

Hands-on learning & inspiration

You can drop in to a Lunch & Learn session, trade questions with experts and peers during Office Hours, join a hackathon group at a Deep Work Weekend, be inspired to find your artsy side at Cre8 workshops, or take a break from the hustle to sing, cry and laugh at ThursdayFusion, our monthly Open Mic showcase.

Community activities

Every month our calendar is full of specially curated events like our flagship Founders’ Friday pitch event. networking mixers, meetups, member breakfasts and themed conversations. Our events are typically either exclusive to members, or open to the public. Check the event calendar to find what’s happening at House Kigali this month and RSVP.

Focus and flow

Need somewhere quiet to crack a tough one or beat a deadline? Settle down for some focus time in the Library, or book a private booth and get down to business. You can also hide away in the gardens or find a quiet spot in the pergola. No matter where you choose outdoors, you'll be surrounded by lush vegetation.
