tbaba1234: They sent me a mail to call the number and I did. I'm just shocked they said I didn't pitch, when its the same number they sent a text to. |
Re: Aso Villa Demo Day Selection Criteria by Peinstein: 7:41pm On Jun 22, 2016 |
I have tried the aso villa number with the number i used in registering my pitch. All in heard from the voice prompt was that I didn't send the pitch, or I wasn't calling with the number I used to register. However, it is the same number I received the message to send my preferred location and startup name What other options exist Can I just go ahead to the pitch event tbaba1234: |
Re: Aso Villa Demo Day Selection Criteria by ugofwesh: 7:59pm On Jun 22, 2016 |
@tbaba1234, i called the line and they confirmed my status using my code,but i couldn't talk to anybody on the line. like i said earlier i sent ph as my location but was texted the pitch invite at lagos,but received the info late. would i be allowed to pitch at ph?, help o abeg.direct and straight forward answers needed. |

Re: Aso Villa Demo Day Selection Criteria by oteneaaron(m): 8:18pm On Jun 22, 2016 |

Re: Aso Villa Demo Day Selection Criteria by ugofwesh: 10:56pm On Jun 22, 2016 |
Since you stay at abuja, just go for the abuja pitch. your code is what uniquely identifies u irregardless of your where they texted you to come pitch. i stay at ph but was told to come pitch at lagos, i declined for ph. Okay everyone,i smell something fishy here. Best case scenario, you are being selected as one of the fifty to come pitch at aso rock. There is no free funding, if not venture capitalists and angel investors would not be present at the demo day. whenever venture capitalists are around they give either debt financing or exchange shares in your business for money.Most of us are all startuppers and giving our shares at this early stage is not healthy. Secondly, our ideas stand the risk of idea theft. My point is that this isn't borne out of pure interest for we young startuppers,if not the terms of the financing would have been clearly stated and free mentorship would have been attached to it. Why bring in investors and vc''s.. My opinion o, feel free to clarify the air. 1 Like |

ugofwesh: I am sure, you will be able to pitch at Ph or Abuja.. But you can still try to contact them on Facebook tomorrow.. They were quite responsive earlier in the day. Recently, Mark Zuckerberg put in $24 million in Andela, a Nigerian start-up... If your idea is sound, it will attract money.. The investors are there, looking for the next great idea. The assistance could maybe come in the form of a grant, or a loan or they buy the idea off you... I think, it will most likely be a grant unless the idea is so awesome that they will buy it off you. |
Re: Aso Villa Demo Day Selection Criteria by ugofwesh: 12:30am On Jun 23, 2016 |
That's true. But protecting your business or idea should be core to you, besides angel investments usually becomes interesting when your business is above the ground floor and growing at a fast pace,such as andela. most applicants have simply brilliant ideas. Wether it's incubation or seed funding they are sure having higher stakes in that idea when it turns into a business, and might possibly bring in their guy as CEO to manage the business. My VEX is that this avdd was overhyped, as it doesn't protect the interest of the upcoming nigerian entrepreneurs. What they need is free financing and mentorship and a stringent follow up programme ensuring this is achieved. Why expose this young start ups to sharks. We need vibrancy in other areas of the sector,that is why these entrepreneurs have to be properly mentored to customize their products for the nigerian market. Angel investors my ass!.. with the hatdtimes we are facing no investor is giving free money and if they like your idea they are coming hard for funding and hard for shares in your business. The avdd is a nice idea but the aproach is totally wrong! 3 Likes |

From what i understand, it's only those for the LAGOS pitch that were contacted....and its only them that can get a positive reply from the interactive call..... For we that applied with ABJ as our own location, I guess we should receive a reply after the LAGOS pitch is concluded....... Goodmorning everyone.... cc: @tbaba1234....am i correct? |
Re: Aso Villa Demo Day Selection Criteria by tbaba1234: 7:32am On Jun 23, 2016 |
oteneaaron: You should still try to confirm. Keep trying to contact them on social media |
Re: Aso Villa Demo Day Selection Criteria by oteneaaron(m): 7:36am On Jun 23, 2016 |
tbaba1234: they aren't responding.. |
Re: Aso Villa Demo Day Selection Criteria by tbaba1234: 7:37am On Jun 23, 2016 |
I understand successful candidates have been contacted but any one with uncertainties should contact them on social media |
