The startups selected to compete at the Seedstars Maputo event need to be less than 2 years old, have raised less than USD 500,000 in funding and have built a minimum viable product, ideally with existing traction and scalable. Seedstars World is looking for smart startups that solve regional issues and develop profitable products for the global market, to support their regional businesses and growth. This year, the initiative will focus on targeting startups from across the country to ensure that those residing outside of Maputo also get a chance to compete.
To provide local entrepreneurs with this opportunity and aiming to deliver the best possible event, UX Information Technologies will represent the initiative for the third time.
