After six rounds of voting and over 2000 votes, Printivo beats Hotels.ng in the finals of Starta’s Startup Matchup Nigeria.
Starta began the online game five weeks ago. They pitted 32 funded startups in Nigeria against each other and asked voters to choose which startups they would like to invest in.
By winning the competition, Printivo – which helps people design and print low-cost brand collaterals online – is acknowledged as the most investable startup in Nigeria.
“We are surprised to have come out as most prefered,” says Oluyomi Ojo, co-founder at Printivo. “Considering the level of competition the ecosystem presented. The level of love our customers and believers expressed shows we are solving a problem for them. The competition has proved that people are sticking their necks out for us. Whatever we have done to earn that, we will be surely do more of it”
“Although the March Madness-style of this game leaves room for uninformed conclusions, we believe the sentiment expressed by the results of the Matchup isn’t too far from the reality. Printivo is one of the more transformational homegrown startups with a disruptive and scalable business model,” says Yele Bademosi, Country Manager for Starta Nigeria.
This is the first in the series of Matchups that Starta will host across Africa. Plans for the MatchUps in Ghana, Kenya, and South Africa are already at advanced stages.
