Gaborone, Botswana-25 April 2023 — Congratulations to PulaSpace Portfolio Fintech Startup Ipachi Capital for winning the Southern Regional French Tech Pitch and being selected to represent Botswana at VivaTech in Paris, France, in June 2023!
We at Pulaspace see this is a great achievement and a testament to the innovative spotlight of Botswana startup being done by Ipachi Capital in the Fintech space. Being selected to represent Botswana at a prestigious international event like VivaTech in France- the second startup by now in five years is a wonderful opportunity to showcase for the ipachi team to pitch for French investment, showcase the potential of the ipachi product and service to a global audience, and potentially attract venture capital investment and french partnerships that can help them grow and scale.
According to co-founder of Ipachi Capital Mr Shine Chivia — “Being selected as the only startup in Botswana to pitch at the France Embassy in South Africa, was for us an opportunity of a lifetime. And it meant that we could now get our value proposition out there and showing impact. After the pitch in South Africa when got mentioned as part of the startups that qualified for the top 10 which will be going to France for the VivaTech summit this year, this to us validated the importance and scalability of our solution. Understand this, VivaTech is the largest startup event in Europe. We look forward to networking with other amazing innovators who are shaping how the world works. We will be intentional in meeting with relevant investors who can enable us to deliver our value through Pre-seed investment.”
French Tech South Africa has been doing great work in promoting innovation and entrepreneurship in the SADC region including Botswana and with the recent interest of Proparco and AFD to support more startups in Botswana via pulaspace.com, and it is wonderful to see the support of French Embassy Gaborone yielding results for startups in Botswana.
