Love - The Story Behind Upendo Ventures
Upendo Ventures was founded by Will Strohl to embrace the values and honor the memory of the loss of his soulmate. This is evident in everything that we do. Our logo clearly reflects her silhouette, with the curls signifying the three short years that they were together. Her nickname was Nala, which means “gift” in Swahili. Upendo means “love” in the same language. The logo includes her favorite color, and a complementary color from the Lion King movie, where her nickname came from.
