Building a tech startup in Nigeria is hard. 

Earlier this month, the pan-African payment infrastructure company, Kora in collaboration with Panache Ventures, TechCabal and TC Insights organised a founders/investors mixer event to help entrepreneurs collaborate towards solving some of the biggest challenges they face with their startups. 

“There are so many challenges building in Africa. Our sole purpose was to foster a healthy community in the tech ecosystem that enables people to be inspired and think of greater things beyond themselves in the space .” – said Dickson Nsofor., CEO, Kora. 

Founders from various industries, including fintech, healthtech, edutech, and others, attended. Investors, media professionals, and experts in the African tech space were also in attendance.

Lynsey Elston, Co-founder of Diagnostar also shared“ It’s been exciting to meet and listen to different founders and hear what’s happening in the tech world, the ideas and the problems people are solving. “
