Welcome home.
Hi, I’m Felix Orwa, a founder and operator in San Francisco. I’m currently building to help others expand.
I built Sote, a logistics and trade-finance company in East Africa, to $7.2m in annualized revenue. We grew to a team of 70 and raised $10m. Sote closed in 2024.
Before Sote, I worked at Mind the Bridge, connecting European scaleups with Silicon Valley. Earlier, I was a commercial pilot and flight instructor.
I paint, write poetry, enjoy comedy and value community.
Work and writing
Companies I’ve worked on, things I’ve learned, and questions I’m still working through.

If you’re intentionally building global networks and GTM channels, connect.
