In a tour which covers 21 African cities, delegates from Seedstars travel across Africa attending events as they scout for “the best startups” in each of the ecosystems.
The 10 best startups from each city are invited to pitch in front of an investment panel and compete to be crowned the most promising seed-stage startup of Seedstars for that city.
The winning startup later joins the global Seedstars Family and takes part in the regional and global Seedstars Summits.
