AfricaCom, one of the largest tech and telecom festival in Africa is inviting African founders, entrepreneurs and startups who are interested in attending the event to submit a three-minute long pitch video for a chance to win an all-access pass to AfricaCom as well as a possibility to pitch at the event.
The competition is open to all African startups but you must have raised less than $1 million in funding and have been founded within the last four years.
The three-minute pitch video submitted by startups must answer the following questions about your company.
- What problem are you trying to solve?
- How are you solving this problem?
- Have other companies attempted to solve this problem before and if so why is your company’s approach unique?
Pitch videos can be submitted to AfricaCom at this link (your video will need to be uploaded to Vimeo or YouTube) before 14th September when entries will be closed.
Videos will then be uploaded to AfricaCom’s YouTube channel where people can vote for their favourite pitch. The best pitches will go on to pitch their idea at the event later this year.
AfricaCom 2018 takes place in Cape Town again this year from 13th – 15th November where as many as 14 000 tech and telecom experts are expected to attend.
