Tushop operates a social-commerce model in Kenya that lets community leaders run virtual shops, aggregate neighbors' orders, and place bulk purchases from manufacturers and producers (including farmers). The company sources goods directly and delivers fresh produce and FMCGs, claiming shoppers can save up to 60% while agents earn commissions. Founded last year by CEO Cathy Chepkemboi, Tushop emphasizes predictive delivery and lowering retail costs through direct sourcing and aggregated orders. The startup plans to scale across Nairobi first and then expand to the rest of the country. To support growth it is hiring, expanding warehousing and delivery capacity, and improving its technology and agent channels. The company recently raised funding to fund these operational investments and expansion plans.
