African Startups Invited to Apply for L59 Pitch Competition in Kenya
Early-stage startups in Africa are being invited to participate in the L59 Pitching Competition in Nairobi from December 3–5, which is organized by Latitude59, the premier startup and tech event from Estonia that also hosts international editions in Singapore, Cape Town, and Nairobi.
Applications are being accepted until October 25th for the L59 Pitch Competition, which is looking for firms with a track record of success and an African core team.
Before competing in the finals in Nairobi, ten of the top teams will be chosen to receive expert pitch coaching and training. The winner startup will receive a round-trip ticket to Latitude59 2026 in Tallinn, Estonia.
“The L59 Pitch Competition gives founders a chance to step onto the international stage and take their first steps toward global growth,” said Liisi Org, CEO of Latitude59, describing the event as the most diversified, international, and influential startup and global platform.
The impressive outcomes of the previous year demonstrated to us that some of the most innovative early-stage entrepreneurs we have seen worldwide are located in African businesses; they are fearless, resilient, and already tackling issues of global importance. For this reason, we are returning to Kenya for the third consecutive year and are inviting entrepreneurs from all around Africa to submit applications for their enterprises at the L59 Pitch Competition in Kenya,” she stated.
