“Global competitions such as Seedstars World are key to Dakar’s emerging startup ecosystem. SSW Dakar now stands as a major event in our ecosystem’s agenda. It gives regional and global exposure to our best entrepreneurs, which is key to attracting key players like investors to our ecosystem,” said Babacar Birane from Concree, the local Seedstars ambassador.

The startup is now set for Seedstars Summit in Switzerland in April 2018 where there will also be pitching with a possibility of winning US$1 million equity investment. The Seedstars summit is a week-long training programme entailing 75 winners, investors, and mentors from all over the world.
