Meet the 10 startups to pitch at Seedstars Gaborone
Rounding off its tour through the African continent, Seedstars World have chosen the 10 startups to pitch in Gaborone, Botswana.
The global competition for fast-growing companies from emerging markets seeks to recognise and provide startups from more than 52 countries with networking and funding opportunities. Based in Switzerland, Seedstars World’s previous participants have collectively raised US$20-million.
Seedstars World kicked off its seven-month Africa tour in May this year with a mission to visit 12 different countries around the continent. These include Mozambique, South Africa, Nigeria, Ghana, Ivory Coast, Senegal, Rwanda, Uganda, Kenya, Ethiopia, and Tanzania.
The winning startup from each leg will travel to Geneva next year, where it will stand a chance to win up to US$500 000 in equity investment, among many other opportunities.
