– Product or service is actively being used in the market
– Product or service has an impact and is therefore solving a problem
– The business has the potential to scale
– The business model is easily understood
A total of close to 100 start-up techpreneurs applied for the project. The top 10 were gleaned from this crowd that following a thorough evaluation of their stories, the tools, and tech used to run these businesses. They will, naturally, also share their truths as entrepreneurs.
The successful 10 will engage with the execution team from CIO East Africa through interviews starring the founders and or the co-founders to share stories, tools, and technology they use to run their businesses. They’ll also share only the truth about their lives as tech entrepreneurs, all in a bid to inspire and awaken the next-gen of techprenuers.
