Less investments for Nigerian startup in 2020 is what a study based on data from Crunchbase reveals. An insane drop of VC capital for Nigerian startups of about 75% in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
In my new Express News video I also talk about the startup Curacel (Nigerian of course, not Ghanian), they raised 450k USD pre-seed capital.
And since I am going to tell you in every Express News video for which accelerator programs and other funding opportunities you can currently apply, today I present you the following programs and their deadlines:
