About

Alain Barsime is co-founder and CEO of Entelon, an AI company building reliable, language-native intelligent systems for institutions and enterprises across Africa.

He studies software development at Rwanda Coding Academy, and before that completed O-Level at Groupe Scolaire Officiel de Butare, placing in the top 80 nationally in Rwanda’s 2024 national examinations.
