What is a FastTrack?
Startupbootcamp FastTracks are informal events that we host all over the world to meet the most suitable early-stage companies interested in joining our program. For each FastTrack, we invite the top 10 startups who apply to receive instant feedback from a panel of industry mentors, network with our investment team and find out more about the program. Teams that attend a FastTrack are 20% more likely to be invited to the final selection days.

On the 23rd of March, the Startupbootcamp Cape Town program welcomes you to Nairobi, Kenya a for a FastTrack day as part of its international tour to support the area’s best talents.
