Marvel Web is hosting Tech Showdown with Techcrunch.com editor Jon Shieber in Lagos during the last week of July 2015 and we’re looking for a few good startups to pitch at the event.
The goal is to bring the startup community together, get to know the amazing tech entrepreneurs in Nigeria,
and get the word out about cool local startups to the international
tech community. We’re hosting a Pitch-Off, where pre-selected companies
will have exactly 120 seconds to pitch their product on stage to a panel
of judges, including Jonathan Shieber Senior Editor at Techcrunch,
Bastian Gotter of iROKOtv, Chika Nwobi of mTech, Toye Akindele of
Synergy Capital, Funke Opeke of MainOne, Bola Akindele of Courteville
and Tokunbo Ogun of Marvel Web. In the end, only 3 startups will be victorious.
**Your startup does not have to be an app but you must use technology as a competitive advantage.

The video is required so that we have an opportunity to see your team present. Do not worry about production quality, camera phones are more than enough. The important thing is that you keep your pitch under 2 mins. Any pitches over 2 mins will not be considered. Do not include any graphics. The goal of your pitch is to get us excited enough to ask followup questions.
