TechCircle, a tech-enabled builder based in Nigeria, has launched the 3rd edition of PITCH2WIN, its flagship startup competition, to help early-stage startups and founders in the ecosystem sector get noticed.
The company has invested more than $200 million in African startups like Reliance Health, Paystack, and Gokada. So, this year’s event won’t be any different since it will give startups a chance to fight for a prize of $10,000 in raw cash.
Hiro Mashita, a Japanese investor, and other Japanese investment firms are looking for interesting startups and are interested in the tech field, just like they did in the past.
The company wants to make the competition bigger this year by giving Web3 startups extra attention through a “spice-up” event with keynote talks and panel discussions. In addition, at least 20 busy early-stage investors and funds will be there.
Aside from funding, the Japanese partners also want to make it easier for the African ecosystem to share technology with Japan and the rest of Asia and enter Japan’s market.
