These 10 start-ups beat 200 others to pitch at Ghana summit

The moment of truth has arrived. While more than 200 start-ups applied, only ten have made the cut to pitch live on stage during the upcoming Africa Money & DeFi Summit in Accra, Ghana.

The founders will pitch their leading ventures in fintech, crypto and Web3 to over 400 fintech and crypto leaders who are set to gather at the West Africa event on 27 and 28 September. They will also have a rare opportunity to connect with top investors, corporates, and other decision-makers.

“We are excited with the response for our latest edition of Pitch Live and are really looking forward to showcasing these new Web3 and fintech ventures,” says Andrew Fassnidge, founder of Africa Money & DeFi Summit.

“Following this year’s success stories from the Africa Tech Summit Nairobi edition, where a number of Pitch Live ventures closed round after pitching, our aim is to continue to drive investment and connect ventures, investors and partners.”
