To support local startups in the Upper East region, Dansyn Innovation Social Organization (Dansyn ISO), a not for profit technology-driven, youth-oriented organisation in the region and the Ghana Investor Network have organised a Regional Acceleration Investor Meetup and Pitch Session.
Six startups in the Region participated in the event. The event was to allow startups to pitch their ideas and businesses, interact and receive some level of mentorship from the investors and judges.
Samuel Abeene, Hub Manager at Dansyn ISO said the Bolga Investor Summit is a prelude to the National Event that is supposed to happen in the coming weeks. He said this when he spoke to A1 Radio in Bolgatanga, the Upper East Regional capital.
“Bolgatanga Investor Network, in partnership with Ghana Investor Network, organized an investor meetup and pitch event for some startups in the Dansyn ISO training room. This event was an opportunity for startups in the National Acceleration Program to familiarize themselves with their ideas and also secure the first round of investment from the Investor Network”.
“During the event, six startups took turns to present what they are into for guidance and coaching as well as convince the judging panel that their ideas are scalable,” he said.
Mr. Abeene also congratulated the startups for making conscious efforts to succeed explaining that “the startups still have some time to practice more and ready themselves for the Ghana Startup Summit which comes off in the early days of April”.
He reiterated Dansyn ISO’s commitment to rolling out similar activities to help startups within the regional ecosystem.
