Waira Mungai is an entrepreneur, inventor, and artist dedicated to building systems that empower people and amplify culture. His work bridges creativity, technology, and community; designing products and models that strengthen human connection and celebrate shared experience.

At his core, Waira is a connector. He moves easily between worlds: founders and artists, brands and communities, seeing the unseen links that bring people and ideas together. That instinct for connection shows up not just in his work, but in his life: hosting dinners that turn into late-night conversations, organizing local cultural events, and finding inspiration in music, food, and the energy of people gathered in one place.

Half of Waira’s family lives in Kenya, a connection that grounds his global perspective and love of travel. Whether exploring a new city or helping a local creator bring an idea to life, he loves to see the world as a living studio—a network of cultures, sounds, and moments waiting to be remixed.

Today, as a member of The & Company, Waira channels that sensibility into building &tags, a new identity layer for the web that gives people, brands, and AI agents a trusted, privacy-respecting way to connect. Through &, Waira continues the same work that’s defined his life—designing for human connection, creative empowerment, and the belief that technology should always serve culture, not consume it.
