About this program
Student founders do not need a pitch deck theatre. They need a problem, an MVP, and a go-to-market sketch — then coaching to iterate.
What winners receive
• Seed credits inside Africoders Founder Studio
• Structured intake feedback from operators who have shipped
• Visibility for a Passport trail recruiters and mentors can trust
Submission package
1. Problem statement (who hurts, how often, why now)
2. MVP demo link (even if thin)
3. Go-to-market sketch (first 50 users)
How applications run
