Powered by MarkStartup
Drain is a proud component of the MarkStartup venture network. We share the unified mandate that Uganda's digital future—especially its critical civic infrastructure—must be built through local talent, responsible data governance, and secure technology sovereignty.
Local Talent
Built by Ugandan developers, engineers, and planners with deep understanding of local urban challenges.
Responsible Governance
Data sovereignty, ethical AI, and community-led governance at the core of every solution.
Community Co-Creation
Solutions designed with, not for, the communities they serve. Municipal authorities hold epistemic authority.
