It’s the beginning of another work week and while you prepare to have a successful week, you must know that tech events add the spice you need to end the week on a good note.
Tech plays such vital roles as easing processes and saving time and effort across different areas of our lives. So, tech events pick out these solutions one event at a time.
These are the tech events happening around us this week: May 9 – 14, 2022.
Founders Live Lagos
Founders Live Lagos, the global avenue that gives entrepreneurs the opportunity to earn recognition and connect with other entrepreneurs, is holding this Wednesday, May 11.
Tagged ‘Centre Stage’, this edition will feature the happy hour competition. During the competition, five selected companies will take the hot seat to pitch their company in 99 seconds and describe their value proposition in front of an eager audience. After the pitches and audience Q&A, the crowd will vote for a winner who will not only receive an award but recognition from the crowd and also the opportunity to talk more about their product or service.
The event provides an exciting opportunity for the local entrepreneur community to gain validation for the work they put into products and services. Entrepreneurs will be able to network, pitch, earn free legal sessions, and raise funds from the crowd among other benefits.
