Included in every hour
Shared AI workstations and guided tools, loaded and ready. The kind of leverage that used to need a KSh 2,000 day pass — included at KSh 125 an hour.
AI-assisted CV building, cover letters and interview practice. Walk out application-ready.
Business model canvases, pitch deck drafts and market research — turn the idea in your head into a document today.
High-spec machines with AI coding assistants and ready dev environments, for builders who need more than a browser.
A quiet recording booth with AI editing and script tools. Build your brand from inside The Yard.
Printing, scanning and document polish — certificates, tenders, proposals — handled at the counter.
Live job listings, gigs and tenders curated daily, plus a members' WhatsApp where opportunities move fast.
For remote workers
A separately secured zone for people working remotely for foreign companies. Isolated networks, soundproof call pods, backup power — the home-office problem, solved.
Per-member isolated VLAN — not shared café Wi-Fi. Enterprise firewall, WPA3, and your corporate VPN runs clean on dual ISPs with 5G failover.
Soundproofed booths with proper lighting, neutral backgrounds and wired ethernet. Take the 9pm California stand-up like a professional.
UPS and inverter backup on the whole zone. Your Zoom never dies — not in a blackout, not ever.
Privacy-screen monitors, lockable storage, clean-desk policy and no cameras over shoulders — your employer's data stays yours.
Work when your team works — from London to San Francisco. The whole Yard runs 24 hours, and the Vault is the guarded night zone.
A one-pager describing our security setup for your HR or IT team — and we can invoice your employer in USD. Many companies reimburse it fully.

Nairobi's only 24-hour workspace. Working for a New York team until 1am? A California stand-up at 9pm? The lights are on, the guard is at the gate, and your desk is waiting.
New · The Yard Fellowship
12 months. Full-time. In-person. Early-career Kenyans trained on Claude, placed in nonprofits and startups, paid a living wage — KSh 120,000/month.

Powered by Claude via M-Pesa. No USD card. No locked door. First cohort: 50–100 fellows.
Your first 8 hours cost KSh 1,200. If The Yard doesn't earn its place in your week, you've lost the price of two lunches.
