During the last day of the 2022 Propel summit, Zambian startup companies had the unique opportunity to pitch their business proposals to a panel of capital venture experts. Each startup had just a few minutes to showcase their product and explain how they planned to use the capital investment to take their company to the next level.
The panel of experts listened intently, offering valuable feedback and expressing interest in exploring potential investment opportunities. The opportunity to pitch to capital ventures was a valuable experience for the Zambian startups, providing a platform to showcase their potential and make important connections with industry leaders.
