Open Startup is now open for applications for its pan-African OST program, which aims to support early-stage startups and promising talent in Tunisia, Senegal and Morocco.
Pan-African OST ProgramDeveloped in collaboration with Columbia Engineering School and Columbia Business School in New York, the initiative will run from September 2024 to January 2025 and is specifically designed to help 30 startups, 10 from each country, progress from the proof-of-concept stage to minimum viable product (MVP).
Participants will benefit from a wealth of resources, including customized training and mentoring, access to an extensive international network, and access to a zero-equity US$50,000 prize pool.
They will also have the opportunity to take part in planned trips to New York, Tunisia and Morocco, designed to provide participants with important international experience and networking opportunities.
The OST program offers two distinct tracks: one for early-stage startups that already have a proof of concept and are ready to develop an MVP and scale, and one for entrepreneurial individuals with the technical and interpersonal skills who want to join a dynamic startup and contribute to its success.
