Dear African developer:
We are writing to invite you to apply for DEMO Africa 2012, a venture
showcase that will be making its African debut in Nairobi, Kenya, on
October 24 - 26.
DEMO provides innovators and entrepreneurs a platform from which to
launch new products, introduce new business plans, and expand into new
markets. And Nokia is the events Platinum sponsor.
Originating in the USA, DEMO is the premiere media and financing
industries; showcase for start-ups. Fifty companies that launched at
DEMO over the past five years have since been acquired by tech giants,
including Adobe, Cisco, HP, Google, Microsoft, Motorola, Nokia,
Symantec, Viacom, and Yahoo! And DEMO-launched companies have raised
more than US$4.5 billion since their debut.
Following the successful US format, between October 24 and 26, the
first DEMO Africa conference will showcase 40 selected African
ventures in front of motivated investors, strategic partners, 100
members of the global media and bloggers, industry influencers, and
senior IT buyers. The conference, being held in Nairobi, is designed
to maximize press engagement and coverage for your proposition.
Even if your application is not selected, DEMO Africa offers you two
other ways to take advantage of the program:
If your application is still in development, the AlphaPitch
program could offer you 90 seconds to pitch your idea or business plan
to the DEMO Africa community.
If your application is already launched, apply to the DEMO Africa
Showcase where your product and company could be featured in the DEMO
Africa Pavilion.
