DEMO AFRICA · 2016 TO 2019
A thousand startups, read closely.
feasibility, logic, execution readiness
Pan-African startup discovery: the pipeline that decided which companies got on the launch stage in front of investors. Three years inside it taught me how products are actually judged, and how founders actually fail.
Reading a thousand applications closely is an education no course sells. Feasibility, logic, execution readiness: the same three questions, asked of every idea on the continent.
What the work was
- Reviewed 1,000+ startup applications for feasibility, logic, and execution readiness
- Evaluated product concepts, market positioning, and impact potential
- Produced decision-grade analysis to guide investor and accelerator selection
- Managed regional founder programs and multi-country startup communities
