Online media platform, AMPZ.tv has emerged winner of Nigeria’s female founder-focused GreenHouse Lab accelerator. AMPZ.tv was therefore rewarded with NGN2 million cash prize.
GreenHouse Capital, launched by VC firm Venture Garden Group last year, had set up GreenHouse Lab, an accelerator programme focused on building world-class, women-led technology companies.
Nine startups with female founders were selected to make up the first cohort of the accelerator; with the three-month programme aiming to equip the founders with the skills, resources and support needed to rapidly grow and scale their companies in emerging African markets.
The accelerator culminated in a Demo Day held in Lagos, at which the five remaining participants to complete the accelerator pitched their businesses.
AMPZ.tv was selected winner, for its platform connecting young sports people with opportunities, events and scouts.
