Tech4Africa – Calling All Startups To Pitch Their Ideas To Angel Investors

Tech4Africa, the web and emerging technology conference, has launched Ignite, an initiative that will provide leading African startups with the opportunity to pitch their products to a carefully curated panel of Angel investors, mentors and business leaders.

 

Startups selected to partake in the Tech4africa Ignite pitches will be given five minutes to showcase their products, with the opportunity to gain not only potential investors but also invaluable exposure to the wider Tech4Africa audience of thought leaders, decision makers, journalists, influencers and potential recruits.

 

Ignite takes place in the main auditorium at Tech4Africa. The top 8 applicants will be required to demonstrate a working prototype of their early stage product to event attendees and a panel of judges.
Whilst there is no formal prize, the winning startup will be announced on the second day of the conference and have the opportunity to present their innovation to the entire Tech4Africa audience. The winner will also receive valuable exposure and profiling through the Tech4Africa website and http://tech4africa.tv.
