Check below the startups selected for the final that will take place in the next few days, and where the winner will earn 4 million kwanzas in investments.
It should be noted that applications were open to all entrepreneurs and developers in Angola, as well as Angolans residing in the diaspora, with the possibility for the competitor to present his project individually or in a group of up to 5 elements, with the submission of a prototype being mandatory functional (eg Mobile Application, Website or other Digital Technology).
UNITEL GO Challenge intends to be a Digital Business competition, due to the fact that 70% of the evaluation criteria are linked to business management, such as the operationalization of the business and the formation of teams, with economic viability.
The UNITEL Go Challenge has the premise that “any programmer can develop a Front Office, but only a robust Startup can develop a sustainable business".
