Hi Listers, What i admire most about MJ is how he has always led from the front in Safaricoms CSR projects,talk of Lewa Marathon,Dettol Heart Run etc..... he has always literally ran the full distance. I believe thats the making of a true leader. Do we look forward to seeing him at the stanchart marathon though its not safaricom sponsored? Jane Kagiri.

Hey listers,

You might have spotted this somewhere already, so apologies for cross-postings.

The ICT Board and Ratio Magazine are organising this venture capital challenge for ICT start ups at the IHub on Monday afternoon: http://tandaatechideas.eventbrite.com/

Six ICT start ups get to pitch to a panel of five VC/PE funds - short, snappy presentations, and they'll be grilled on their business idea on the spot. If the funds are interested, they can then follow up in more detail individually. We've also invited an audience - 60% of the people who have registered have started an ICT company.

This has a double purpose:

- bring VCs and start ups together, and - give the audience of developers etc a better understanding of what kind of questions a VC would ask.

I think there are still a few space available to attend, so if you are interested, click on the link above and register!

Andrea
