Startup Kai Pitch Competition 2021

About The Competition

The mission of this pitch competition is to identify, spotlight, connect, reward and to adequately give every other support to the featured scalable startups whose solutions have the potential of reshaping Africa.

At Startup Kai, we aim to give immense contribution to creating the structural platform required for the economic development of Nigeria, and Africa at large. We believe the most efficient and effective means of achieving this goal is to identify, train, invest and connect scalable startups whose solutions are potentially iconic in achieving the same goal, giving them the leverage that ensures they ultimately become unicorns that are easily identified globally.
