That’s right – anyone with a good idea can submit an application and request a ride to pitch to an investor. Startup heroes and heroines, CEOs, local and international investors will listen to your ideas all of this in the back an Uber!! This is your chance to get your idea heard, if you have never got an opportunity to pitch to anyone, take massive advantage and be the first to tell tales of the ride which didn’t cost a thing and totally changed your life.
The theme of this year’s UberPITCH powered by Mettā will be ‘Innovation to solve pressing local and global challenges’. We want to hear your innovative ideas and the top pitches will be invited for a special event with some of Kenya’s leading investors and business leaders.
