VC4Africa said Lagos StartUp DealDay raised over 100 million naira ($310,000) from LAN members and the early stage investment community for Lagos startups during 2016.
LAN partners for the DealDay are VC4A, the Africa Business Angel Network (ABAN), Lagos tech hubs, incubators and accelerators.
To qualify startups must be looking for between 50 million and 100 million naira in funding, have existing customers, have been operating for between two and five years, be incorporated in Nigeria and have a full time leadership team
