Robert Muoka Salim (photo) is a Kenyan techpreneur and sociopreneur. He is the CEO and co-founder of My Shamba Digital, an online legal platform selected on March 1, 2022, to join the Venture Capital for Africa (VC4A) program.

My Shamba Digital helps citizens complete their land procedures, and avoid scams and other bad decisions that can lead to disputes between individuals, companies, or the state. Its resource center and blog also provide users with access to important land-related information. Apart from its resource center and blog, the platform also has real estate and land listing pages,  My Shamba Digital Property Listings, and My Shamba Sako.

Robert Muoka Salim launched My Shamba Digital in the first quarter of 2021. But, he got the idea several years back because of land dispute cases he came across during his professional career. In 2017,  the Kenyan Ministry of Lands and Physical Planning signaled an increase in land fraud and related crimes over the previous decade. At the time, it indicated 7,052 land fraud cases costing the treasury Ksh60 billion (US$520 million) yearly. 

Land affairs are not the only cases in which Robert Muoka is specialized. In 2020, he co-founded the digital platform Sheria Online, which specializes in legal coaching, and is currently responsible for business development and strategic partnerships.

For his digital solutions, he was listed in the Africa Law Tech and Lawyers Hub's Top 50 African Legal Innovators (2021). He also received the award for the best technological solution at the Africa Legal Innovation Hackathon 2021. He was also the finalist of the Global Legal Hackathon 2022 and one of the nominees for the Under-30 Techpreneur of the Year at the 2022 Founder of the Year Awards.
