The Pitch
Zagace is an all-in-one business productivity and enterprise software platform that brings essential business functions — accounting, invoicing, sales, project management, inventory, HR and customer management — into one simple, integrated system. It is designed primarily for small and growing businesses, including micro-businesses and solopreneurs, that want to reduce the cost and complexity of managing multiple disconnected software tools.
Small and growing businesses often rely on multiple disconnected software tools for basic functions, creating higher costs, operational inefficiency and complexity as they scale. Zagace identifies a global addressable market of more than 200 million small businesses that need simpler, more accessible business software.
A single, customizable platform of integrated "Zag Apps" that brings core business processes — accounting, sales, invoicing, inventory, project management, personnel and customer management — into one interface. Its key differentiator is a hybrid cloud approach: users run their business on modern cloud systems while keeping data mapped; reducing dependence on multiple disconnected subscriptions. The platform combines AI, business intelligence and analytics, with support for cloud, hybrid, mobile and offline use.
"We are making enterprise software basic and accessible to all."

Founder Story
Orphaned as a child in Kenya, Mubarak Muyika launched his first company — Hype Century, a web-hosting and digital services business — at age 16 and built it to a six-figure deal while still a teenager. Seeing how costly and fragmented basic business tools were for small enterprises, especially in emerging markets, he used the proceeds to found Zagace in 2013 in Nairobi — with a mission to make full enterprise software simple, affordable and accessible through modular "Zag Apps." He later relocated the company to Silicon Valley, turning down a Harvard scholarship to keep building. His early, hands-on experience serving real small-business needs, combined with a relentless drive forged by personal adversity, positions him uniquely to bring ERP-class tools to the global SMB market.
