Ten startups have been selected for the African final of the Latitude59 competition, the winner of which will head to Tallinn, Estonia to pitch at the main event for a prize pool of EUR1 million (US$1.1 million). Disrupt Africa reported last month Latitude59 was seeking early-stage startups from across Africa to compete for the chance to pitch at the next edition of its pitch competition, which will take place at next year’s edition of the event. For two years in a row, the prize pool for the Latitude59 pitch competition has been EUR1 million (US$1.1 million). A total of 382 applications were received from 37 African countries, with the top 10 now selected. They will pitch at an event in Kenya on November 28, where the African winner will be chosen.
