This is How to Prepare for & Win the TechCabal Battlefield $10,000 Grand Prize

 
This video pitch will help you prepare for and win the TechCabal Battlefield 2014. As long as you have a startup, which is less than two years old, you have raised some money but not over $200,000 and you feel you need some more. Watch this video instead of conspiring to rob a bank.
For starters, TechCabal is a premium online news publication for startups. The popular publication has launched its inaugural version the TechCabal Battlefield, something like Shark Tank or Dragon’s Den to give you chance to prove that your product is awesome and it can meet the demands of the Nigerian market. All you need to do is apply, prepare, go pitch and bring home this cash. Sounds easy?

You have to have an awesome product, as a Ninja, you have to demonstrate the product to the judges and the audience, show that it really works. Get your freaking PowerPoint ready, and a tribal print hoodie and a pair of hot trainers. And do some pitching before your mirror.
And apart from you demo-ing a working product, you have to be sweet and eloquent and sure. The sweet tooth will help you sell your product to iROKOtv’s Jason Njoku, Jobberman’s Ayodeji Adewunmi, Stanbic IBTC’s Akintunde Oyebode  and Paradigm Initiative’s Gbenga Sesan. As the judges, they are more of your early users and their feedback is significant. They just have to like it and like it or you are doomed. It wont be easy, it’s work, you’ll have to start preparing now by looking at MKO Abiola’s daughter gym it here.

Plus you never know, one of the Social Media Week participants might be looking for a startup to invest in all their pension!
If you are not so good, or by bad luck you have a sore throat and come second, don’t fret. There’s $2,000 for you to take home and bro or siz you better plan for it now, you can even make an order from Konga if you are sure you will win it.  The third prize winner won’t go home empty-handed, there are lots of prizes and plus great feedback from people who have build global companies, not just websites.
