I Left Wall Street To Start A Coffee Business—Now It Brings In $3 Million A Year
Despite being a child of Kenyan coffee farmers, it took a trip to America, an MBA at Harvard and a short stint in investment banking for Margaret Nyamumbo, 36, to realize she could build a profitable coffee business while giving back to the sort of farms that raised her. In 2023, her business Kahawa 1893 sold more than $3 million worth of…

Seems like a lot of black women are leaving Corporate America to build their own businesses. Very inspiring journey ❤
Baba, very very proud of you. Totally get the part where you said coffee / tea farming was an embarrassing occupation. Been through that. Thanks for being the flag bearer
This year is running to a close end and this video has taken me back in memories when I was struggling to secure a good loan deal for my project at the beginning of this year but all I kept getting was rejections after rejections. Only sbfunds🌐us came through for me and making me feel proud of putting everything I had on the line to bring my virtuality ideas into reality. There is nothing bad with starting your business with loan, you just have to make sure your plan is well put In place. Starting January 2025 sgbfunds🌐us will open there portal to accept applications from small business and startup project. Make sure you don’t miss this opportunity.
when you have the right people supporting your ideas. that is the first step in making it people who understand how to overcome obstacles ahead of you
Incase you're an entrepreneur looking for early loan deal you can explore to cover your startup capital or Inventories in 2025. Then I need you to save this date. 23 Jan, Small business growth committee will open their application portal to accept application for 2025 first batch. I got 280k for this year January. They are my bounce back ticket to get my business.

love this story wow
Love this
Wow such an inspirational story… ❤
Your story totally relates and resonates with me. As a single mother and owner of Sweet Creations, I was struggling to expand my home bakery until I found sbgfunds, which was recommended by my attorney. I applied for a business loan of $85k on the website and of course I was put on hold(processing) for a while, which made me think my application failed but to my greatest surprise I was approved the funds for my bakery. With that support, I secured a commercial kitchen, purchased new equipment, and launched a marketing campaign. In just six months, my revenue doubled, and I was able to hire my first employee! This loan not only transformed my business but also improved my family's future. I’m grateful for the opportunity to grow and contribute to my community!
It is gratifying to see a Kenyan thrive.
THE LOVE THE STORY!!! go Margaret!!!
how does she afforded Harvard tuition fee ?
Our government has no idea how people are suffering these days. Thank you for recommending (Alvarez H. Flectcher)on one of your videos investing with him has been amazing. I paid off my $527k 2.125% 15 years loan in 6months with no dept and paid of rent
I remember you from Shark tank!
Wonderful – bring me as an African Women who also started my own business so much joy! you go girl – love this!!!
Since I’ve been married I rarely drink tea, coffee and my turtles creamer.
Coffee has no effect on me because at one point I was going to school and working, drank 12 cups a day.
🎉
Kahawa is the Arabic for coffee omg
Amazing journey
$285,000 from friends and family?? Serious question, how do you build connections like that if you aren’t on wallstreet?? Unless I’m in the wrong facebook groups?
Saw her on Shark tank. Its nice to know she is still doing well 😊
Of course your 36 of course 18 9 3 of course you re …… selling crap which burns adrenals out and makes one illusion that they get energy while exhausting themselves and of course you “empower” exploited women
The QR code is brilliant! I run a passion business to save homeless dogs and cats and I just put a portion of sales will be donated to animal shelters on my website, but this is way more genius.. It gives the customer a hands-on involvement in charity
Thank you for recommending Sarah Jennine Davis on one of your videos.
I reached out to her and investing with her has been amazing. I paid off my $529k 2.125% 15 years loan in 8 months. Now totally debt free with 2 paid off rentals. Love having no debt for the last 5 months. Thank you SARAH JENNINE DAVIS
Yipes! I'm an American coffee lover living in Germany. After seeing this video I immediately got on line to check about ordering this coffee for me here in Germany. Holy s***! I know from my last visit back to the States last October that prices for so many things are significantly higher than I remember from when I last lived there. Especially groceries. I'm sad to say I won't be ordering any of this coffee, though I'd love to try it. Here's why:
We buy our coffee from a local Kaffee Rösterrei in Aachen, Germany. Actually, it's one of the oldest coffee roasters in Germany. Prices here have also climbed significantly in the past few years, though seemingly not as much as in the U.S. Today I pay €12.95 ($13.88) for 500g. The best price I found on line for Kahawa 1893 was €238.79 ($256.00) for 6 12 oz packages. That's just more than 2 kg. Two kilograms for me from my local roaster costs €51.80 ($55.53). So, do I pay $55.53 for 2 kg of very good coffee from my local roaster, or do I pay $256.00 for Kahawa 1893? Hmmmm? Is all coffee in the U.S. this expensive now? —- Note: The price I found on line is no where near the price you mentioned in this video ($16-20 for 12 oz.) which is not that old. So, using an average of $18 / 12 oz, it'd come to $108 per 2 kg. Not as bad, but still significantly more than we pay for good coffee here. Perhaps the price I found for buying your coffee in Germany was because of additional shipping and customs duties, plus the European VAT. I guess I'll need to wait for my next visit to the States to try your coffee out.
I've made a smart reinvestments, especially with some great guidance from a pro for a half year now, and it's been a game changer. I was able to reinvest my RMD strategically, and 1'm now pulling in about $25k a week, despite doing very little trading myself. It's a nice cushion against financial stress. Best of luck with your RMD decisions!

Your coffee site doesnt detail the path of money when it comes to the tips. Im quite skeptical because you just tip but there is no explanation on where the money goes to and how it is then DIRECTLY distributed to the workers, not the farm owners, the workers themselves. Can you please provide more detail on this?
Thank you for recommending Sarah Jennine Davis on one of your videos. I reached out to her and :nvesting with her has been amazing.
Very inspiring! Congrats to Margaret for building such an amazing business
This girl is smart
Every family has that one person who will break the family financial struggle, I hope you become the one
Saw her on Shark Tank. She has such an inspirational story and is truly a great example.
Kudos to you and your hard work you’ve done amazing you should be proud of your accomplishment. Coffee business is very hard to break in and you did just that.
It sounds like the Arabic language قهوة qahwah…kahawa, I think it is an Arabic loanword too like شاي Shai = Chai…yea?
