He is transforming how investors access the African real estate market. His initiatives are introducing new practices that completely rethink property ownership and investment.
Trevor Kimani is a Kenyan entrepreneur active in the fintech and real estate sectors, serving as the co-founder and CEO of alphabloQ, a platform designed to facilitate real estate innovation in Africa.
Founded in 2022 by Kimani and John Mbui, alphabloQ is a Kenyan-based platform that enables investment in digital assets, including real estate, bonds, and gold. It lowers traditional financial barriers to property investment by allowing users to acquire fractional ownership in income-generating properties.
Users can purchase digital tokens representing shares of physical assets. Investors receive monthly income from rental payments and can benefit from capital gains if the assets appreciate. The startup converts physical properties into digital tokens via blockchain technology, which enables fractional ownership and increases asset liquidity. These tokens can also be used as collateral to obtain loans, providing investors with financial flexibility.
Kimani also serves as the Vice President of Anvil Shield Group, a financial firm, and as a Director at Saladin Properties, a real estate company specializing in the purchase and development of land and residential units.
Kimani holds a Bachelor of Business Administration from the University of Kent in England, obtained in 2012, and a Master of Business Administration from the United States International University-Africa (USIU-Africa) in Nairobi, obtained in 2018.
His professional career began in 2010 as a Sales Executive at Anglian Windows, a British residential renovation company. Between 2012 and 2017, he worked for Ngao Credit, a Kenyan fintech firm, where he held successive roles as Administrative Assistant, Nairobi Branch Deputy Manager, Mombasa Branch Manager, and Deputy General Manager.
