👓 Glasses for Everyone!
-
Kenya-based Mamy Eyewear is bringing high-quality, affordable prescription glasses and sunglasses to more people.

Investor check. Ikemori Venture Wealth joined IVS to lead the round and support the brand’s regional expansion.
🕶️ Seeing Clearly
-
With the lack of options, people in Kenya and across East Africa still struggle to find decent eye care or stylish frames that don't cost a fortune.
-
Mamy is tackling this gap by making fashion-forward eyewear accessible to everyone.
-
It is not just about accessing to clear vision. It is about giving people confidence through better style.
📦 Cutting the Middleman
-
They use a direct-to-consumer D2C model. This keeps prices low by skipping the usual markups from distributors.
-
The brand has already built a strong retail footprint in Nairobi and a very loyal digital community.
-
They win by mixing local fashion trends with a super efficient supply chain that keeps new stock moving.
🚀 The Next Phase
-
The new capital will go toward opening more physical stores across Kenya.
-
They are also upgrading their online platform to make it easier for fans to browse new designs from home.
-
Going regional. They plan to move into neighboring East African countries to lead the eyewear market soon."
