Latitude59 Pitch Competition: Kenya

Latitude59, Estonia’s flagship startup and tech event, is seeking early-stage startups from across Africa to compete for a prize pool of non-equity funding. 

The 12th edition of Latitude59 was held in Tallinn in May, and attracted over 3,500 attendees, including more than 900 startup representatives and nearly 600 investors. 

African startups are invited to apply for the Latitude59 pitch competition, which will take place at next year’s edition of the event. Selected finalists will pitch at a Latitude59 Kenya edition conference in Nairobi on November 28, with one African startup receiving an invitation to participate in the main event.

For two years in a row, the prize pool for the Latitude59 pitch competition has been EUR1 million (US$1.1 million).

Applications are open here until November 1.
