Not subscribed to our newsletter? You can [sign up here]( Every weekday since the beginning of the year, we have profiled [several startups]( from a pool that [pitch to us]( on a daily basis. This has been deliberate as our primary goal is to nurture startups in Africa. What we have learnt over these past months is that many startups seem to be struggling in the areas of funding, mentorship and market entry strategy. Interestingly, we have discovered a growing interest in the startup and tech space among some of the most successful indigenous business owners. However, because they lack understanding of the space, they prefer to watch with uncertainty from a distance. Techpoint has taken the bull by the horn by reaching out to some of these people and securing their commitment to fund startups in Nigeria. This is why we are introducing Techpoint Build, an annual event aimed primarily at fostering increased local investment into the local startup ecosystem. Techpoint Build will feature startup pitch sessions, SME clinics, exhibitions and a dinner with investors. [Learn more](.
