Latitude59, Estonia’s flagship startup and tech event, is seeking early-stage startups from across Africa to compete for a prize pool of non-equity funding. African startups are invited to apply for the Latitude59 pitch competition, which will take place at next year’s edition of the event. Selected finalists will pitch at a Latitude59 Kenya edition conference in Nairobi on November 28, with one African startup receiving an invitation to participate in the main event. For two years in a row, the prize pool for the Latitude59 pitch competition has been EUR1 million (US$1.1 million). So now we are back in Kenya for the second year in a row and invite founders all across Africa to apply and present their startups at the Latitude59 pitch competition in Kenya,” said Latitude59’s CEO Liisi Org.
