Isidoor is an aspiring social entrepreneur from the Netherlands. After his studies in law and economics at the Erasmus University in Rotterdam he worked briefly in finance but quickly decided he was looking for a more adventurous career path. After launching a bicycle program in a slum in Nairobi, Kenya the idea grew to introduce a leapfrog technology to the African market. Noting that sales of electric bicycles have skyrocketed in the West and Asia over the last couple of years, they spotted the opportunity to bring the e-bike to Kenya. Since the beginning of this year the Hatua team has been working on a product/service combination to bring e-bikes to the East-African market. They are in the early stage and setting up the first pilots to start this summer. Within Hatua Isidoor has the lead on product and digital development.
