The night was started by a talk from saisai cofounder and startup entrepreneur Takunda Chingonzo who shared his own experiences in forming a tech startup. This was followed by the elevator pitches from different participants.
From these pitches, five startup ideas have been voted for by the audience and they will proceed to the next stage which will involve a development of these ideas into viable solutions by the end of the weekend.
These five ideas are
- An online library and education solution
- An application that works with retailers to offer price discounts for perishable products close to expiry
- An online solution meant to identify and address poor delivery of municipal services
- A crowd funding site for cancer patients in Zimbabwe
- An app that notifies users of pending powercuts and the availability of power at their house
