According to StartupCircles.ai CEO, Sandras Phiri, “Despite the current climate, there are still plenty of investors with funds that need to be invested. This Demo Day is an opportunity for the startups we are nurturing to get in front of investors who are actively looking to invest. With startups being hailed as the potential saving grace for Africa’s struggling economy, now is the time for entrepreneurs, and even those just with business ideas, to join events like this to learn about what investors look for and hear how to make their businesses more commercially viable.”
