RegTech Africa and 11 other ecosystem initiate worldwide recently participated in the 1st Cohort of the DEEP ecosystem accelerator program.
DEEP Ecosystems is a global tech startup accelerator with headquarters in Munich, Germany. The Accelerator programme provides mentorship, training and technical support for Seed to Series A startups, solving some of World’s biggest challenges.
The programme supports both the startups and the founding team by mentoring the founders in business operations, technology and leadership. Also, the accelerator focuses on cross-border collaboration, building for global impact.
Over the last few months, these startups have benefitted from networking programs, business model valuation and business development initiatives of the DEEP ecosystem accelerator program.
Having gone through several virtual high touchpoint boot camps, with over 500 hours of mentorship and business training these startups have reached the end of a phase leading to greater acceleration to take their projects to the next level.
As part of the Accelerator programme, the startups were required to present pitch decks of their solutions at the DEEP Startup Ecosystem Conference, which took place on October 18th, 2021 in Essen, Germany.
