14 Africas startups selected to pitch at the AlphaExpo Pitch Competition
14 African startups have secured a spot to pitch live on stage at the Africa Fintech Summit Cape Town, which takes place from November 2-4, at the Cape Town International Convention Centre (CTICC).
The AlphaExpo micro-accelerator is a sector-agnostic program that enables early-stage startups from across Africa to pitch on the Africa Fintech Summit Stage, demo their products to a wide variety of stakeholders, meet a wide network of prospective investors, partners, and customers, and also increase their chances of being accepted to top accelerator programs!
The startups were selected from hundreds of top applicants. They include: Chapa, MaishaPay, MooveBeta, PrimeNet, PigiBank, Periculum, DUKAPAQ, EFiat, SmartWage, Upstream, XRGlobal, EntrTechnology, Fanogroup_Namibia and SAVA.
The Alpha Expo Micro Accelerator Program has held up its objective as an ecosystem growth initiative by connecting early stage founders with growth opportunities for scale. Alumni of the AlphaExpo program have raised over $200M USD since participating and include industry leaders such as MarketForce, Yellow Card, Asaak, PiggyVest, ArifPay, PayHippo, and many others.
