WHO CAN ENTER

Startups that can enter the Battlefield must meet the following criteria:
Must not be older than 2 years
Must have received less than $200,000 in funding
Must have a substantial tech component which is live at the time of competition i.e. corporate website does not count {startups in beta will be allowed in special circumstances if there is a reasonable expectation that they will launch in less than 3 months from the competition}
Must serve Nigerian customers/be based in Nigeria
NOT EVERY STARTUP IS WORTHY TO ENTER THE BATTLEFIELD.
FIRST, YOU'VE GOT TO MAKE IT INTO THE ACADEMY
Startups begin their battlefield journey by applying to the Academy. After a rigourous selection process by a properly constituted committee of experts, seven startups will emerge. The deserving seven that make it past the committee will proceed to the academy. There, they will receive hands-on training from our group of professionals – the Faculty – in business, financials, technology and presentation skills. And they will need all of it, for what comes next.

CAN YOU SURVIVE THE BATTLEFIELD?
On the 19th of February, the seven Faculty-honed startups will take to the field to present to our panel of judges – experienced entrepreneurs, consultants and financiers – and battle it out for the star prize. But they compete not just for glory — there will be press and investors in the audience looking for startups to invest in as well. Everything is at stake!
