Adventurer. Thinker. Doer. PM/design & product thinking. Sharing insights from my journey down the tech rabbit hole.
This Is How API Sentry Won The Startup Innovation Challenge at ‘The Builders Summit’ Last Saturday, APISentry won a $1,000 cash prize and $300,000 worth of perks at the summit hosted by Founders' Connect for builders, operators and creators. Founders Connect announced the Startup Innovation Challenge in April and quite a number of startups have been a part of it. 13 of them made it to the semi-finals but only 4 made it to the final day. These 4 are; Belarush, MyItura, Feegor & APISentry. There were 3 judges, in persons of Dapo Awobokun of Paystack, Ahunna Ogunedo of Founders Factory Africa and Oluwadunni Fanibe of Techstars. After each finalist pitched their product with zest and electrifying passion, the judges took a moment to deliberate and decide on a winner and a runner-up. After the deliberation, we were left with 2 startups; Feegor and APISentry. API Sentry won this challenge and this is why: ⬇ Ahunna Oguendo announced the winner and one of the key criteria for winning was the scope of the product. What is the size of the market the product serves? Is it local or global? When the economy is crashing, will it be one of the first things to be affected or not? As she began to build the suspense (which she did very well too 😅) and highlight these criteria, it was quite clear (at least to me) that API Sentry checked all the boxes. Feegor is a B2B Marketplace enabling businesses to buy goods from manufacturers/major suppliers with the "whole of Africa" as their scope of operation. APISentry on the other hand is an AI-powered cybersecurity SaaS company that helps organisations "across the globe" to fortify their API security. 📌 What gave APISentry the edge is the technology and its scope. It is AI-powered and it serves a global audience, not just Africa. This real-life experience validated one of my posts from 3 weeks ago with the title “This is Why Your Products Are Not Global”. In the post, I shared that African builders and founders need to start looking beyond their immediate environment and build for a global demography. One of the reasons for this is that as technology advances and the world collapses more into a global village, there will be unprecedented challenges & opportunities that anyone from any corner of this digital village can key into. (See comment section for full post) 📌 Another reason is that, because the problem you solve is big enough, it is a faster way to get funded, investments and partnerships, just as we see with API Sentry. Congratulations to the team at APISentry, I look forward to where things go from here. Also, I wish the team at Feegor, MyItura, & Belarush success as they forge ahead. 👏 💪 #TheBuildersSummit #FoundersConnect #startups #africa #SaaS #tech #SMEDAN

Given funding scarce and limited resources, we understand that startups founders must focus to prove their product -market fit, as cheaply and as soon as possible. Henceforth, our team had been working hard in the last few months to reduce the barrier for startups to work with us through Cap Vista Accelerator: 🚀 We simplified our contractual terms to award the successful startup. These terms are also shared upfront to all registered users, as part of the submission. 🎯 We distilled the essential information required in the application form (registered users to refer to Annex) for our evaluation panel to quickly understand how the tech solution works and solves the Challenge Statement through a trial. 🌱 We do not take equity or IP rights. ⏳ We set exact dates to announce finalists for pitching session scheduled on 7 May. We are looking to award successful startups in <60days after application closes. No fuss! 🛠️ We encourage startup to concentrate on scoping out the proposal, including cost and other resources needed to solve the Challenge Statement. You don't have to build and deliver new product if your existing MVP can work just fine! If your startup has innovative tech solutions that we haven't tried out, do submit your proposal early via https://lnkd.in/gt9ZPggw #CapVistaAccelerator #openinnovation #deeptechstartups #startup #productmarketfit Eunice Ooi Juncheng C.
