Co-founder / CEO
Felix Maru
Runs the network, the roadmap and the partnerships. If you want to talk coverage expansion, wholesale or business deals, Felix is the first call.
Two founders. One mission: bring honest, reliable, locally-priced internet to the homes and small businesses in our coverage areas — without the runaround of bigger ISPs.
AlphaX started in 2021 with a single antenna on a rooftop in Umoja 1 — Felix pooling his savings to fund the first build, Timon joining as co-founder on the technical side. Both frustrated by the gap between what bigger ISPs promised in Eastlands and what they actually delivered.
Five years in, we're still small. Ten estates live, a few thousand subscribers, two founders who answer the phone. We've never raised outside money. We grow the network one node at a time, paid for by the customers already on it.
The bet has always been the same: people in Eastlands want internet that just works. Not the cheapest. Not the flashiest. The most reliable. With a real human at the other end when something goes wrong. Build that, and word travels block by block.
That's why we don't outsource support. Why we publish our real uptime. Why every plan is no-contract. Why our founders' phone numbers are on every page.
"Internet ya mtaa — built by the people on the block, for the people on the block."
