Article by Geoff Goss, one of the judges of the ZOL Startup Challenge
I thought it important to share with you my recent experiences as a judge at the inaugural Zimbabwe Tech Start-Up Challenge.
First of all go take a look at http://www.techzim.co.zw/2011/08/3-more-finalists-are-selected-for-the-startup-challenge/ which will give you a good idea of what happened. Search the site for part one too!
There are a lot of brilliant ideas out there that need cultivation and capital injection. Until now a platform for either one of these has not formally existed.
BarCamp Zimbabwe, an event bringing tech startups, geeks, entrepreneurs and generally the whole tech community in Zimbabwe is set to take place at the Maiden Public House on 3 August 2011 from 9am to 10pm.
Recently HIFA ran insert in The Standard and included the article below…
ZOL has always made a concerted effort towards making sure that its customers get the best deal. It is inspired by the human race’s constant need to improve.
It is especially so in the world of technology where today’s world class technology is past tense in a matter of a months. ZOL is constantly working to stay ahead of the game by ensuring that tomorrow’s technology arrives today.
The final day is always one riddled with mixed emotion. For those who have been working with the festival there is a sense of relief as they enter the final stretch. The fans however are sad to see it end.
So the pressure is often there to make sure that the festival ends on the right note.
The organizers rolled out a diverse programme on the last day that included entrancing jazz from saxosophonist Ivan Mazuze, 10 theatre performances, a recital, spoken word, and a rock concert as well a kids’ carnival.
HIFA had hyped up two shows for this year’s festival : The Blk Jks and Nneka.
And they did not disappoint. Soweto rockers Blk Jks brought their rage against the system front and centre and had an audience jumping up and down as if it was Woodstock. If it wasn’t for the muddy ground you would have seen mosh pits all over the place.
