OST programme invites applications from Tunisian, Senegalese, Moroccan startups
The pan-African OST program, which intends to assist early-stage startups and promising individuals from Tunisia, Senegal, and Morocco, is now accepting applications through Open Startup.
With a focus on helping 30 selected startups—10 from each country—go from proof of concept to minimum viable product (MVP), the pan-African OST Programme was created in partnership with Columbia Engineering and Columbia Business School in New York. It is scheduled to run from September 2024 to January 2025.
Access to a broad global network, personalized training and mentoring, and a US $50,000 cash prize pool with no equity are just a few of the many resources available to participants.
In addition, planned trips to Tunisia, Morocco, and New York will be available to them, giving them ample opportunity to network and gain international exposure.
The OST Program offers two unique tracks: one for people with technical or interpersonal skills who are passionate about entrepreneurship and want to join innovative startups and help them succeed, and another for early-stage startups who already have a proof of concept and are prepared to develop their MVP and expand their operations.
Candidates who are interested may apply until July 21st (individuals here, startups here).
