Regarding the objective of Pitch2Win, OO Nwoye, the founder of TechCircle, noted that it was designed to solve not only the problems of funding and mentorship but also to provide tools for support of startups with the focus on those companies that offer solutions to businesses that have the level of technological development for the African continent.
“Pitch2Win aims to not only address the funding and mentorship gaps but also empower startups whose innovative business solutions have the potential to shape the future of technology in Africa,” he said.
Pharma Run, an e-health startup, was awarded as the overall winner of the first version of the competition, which was held last year.
