ABOUT

Founders Live harare

Established in Seattle, USA, Founders Live is an unforgettable happy hour competition where up to five handpicked companies take the hot seat, with only 99 seconds to pitch their company and describe their value proposition in front of an eager audience. After the pitches and audience Q&A, the crowd votes on a winner who will not only receive an award, but recognition from the crowd as well as the opportunity to talk more about their product or service. Founders Live Harare officially launched on October 26, 2018. It is a bi-monthly event and brings the best start-ups in Zimbabwe to the forefront allowing them to grow and market their products/services to a global audience.
