0

The Africa Fintech Summit, the largest bi-annual fintech event in Africa, has opened applications for its sixth AlphaExpo Micro-Accelerator cohort. 

The AlphaExpo is a programme at the heart of the Africa Fintech Summit mission, and will enable up to 15 African startups to attend and exhibit at this year’s event in Lusaka, Zambia on November 2-3.

Cohort participants will also take part in the AlphaExpo Pitch Competition on Friday, November 3, formally concluding this year’s festivities. 

Since 2018, the AlphaExpo has featured 53 pre-Series A startups, including the likes of PiggyVest, Yellow Card, MarketForce, PNGME, CrowdForce, PayHippo, and many others with AlphaExpo alumni raising nearly US$200 million in venture funding. 

“The AlphaExpo initiative is essentially designed to help founders get where they are going faster. Strengthening brand recognition, establishing thought leadership, and generating leads from a business development perspective all play a fundamental role in a startup’s growth story,” said Africa Fintech Summit content director Andrew Barden.

Pre-Series A startups operating in Africa are encouraged to apply before August 31 here.
