Hello Listers, The growing mobile startup culture is something many of us wish to support. Its a rapidly growing sector promising to improve our competitiveness as a global ICT hub. Already some of you have supported finalists of this year's Pivot East pitching conference with mentorship and coaching - a big thanks to you all! The conference at Ole Sereni Hotel on *5th and 6th June* is where you can a catch up with the trends and learn about innovative solutions coming from across East Africa. 25 innovative local companies will pitch against each other where 5 category winners get $10,000. The pitching sessions will be punctuated by fire-side chats where thought leaders representing Development Agencies, Government Ministries and Large Corporates will share insights on matters pertinent to mobile innovation and entrepreneurship. M-farm, one of our local innovative companies will also launch their new applications in the evening of 5th June at the same venue. This is a reminder to all those interested in the mobile start-up scene not to miss the action. There will be a live stream on Capital FM for those who will not make it to the venue. Live tweets will have the hash tag #PivotEast<https://twitter.com/#%21/search/%23PivotEast>. For more information on this see the event website http://www.pivoteast.com.
