Earlier this month, the Orange Corners Innovation Fund (OCIF) in Senegal celebrated a significant milestone. Entrepreneurs from the fourth cohort pitched their businesses to a select group of investors, marking the culmination of eight months of intensive support and development.
Participating investors included Basile de Cointet from WIC Capital, Ndèye Thiaw from Brightmore Capital, Mohamed Ngom from Teranga Capital, Anta Ndiaye from Sawari Ventures, Aminata Diouf from On Capital, Mohamed Ndiaye from Dakar Network Angels and Tijan Watt from Wuri Ventures. The event was also attended by Rogier Hekking (Deputy Head of Mission) and Elise Antoine (Policy Officer) from the Embassy of the Netherlands in Senegal.
Many congratulations to all our graduating entrepreneurs for their hard work and commitment: Latifa Diedhiou (Nutrivie), Lucie Thiao (Luxorus), Stéphane Mancabo (Yello App) and Sidy Aïdara (Sassoumane). Special thanks to our OCIF implementing partner INCO for their unwavering support these past eight months, and of course to The Third Dakar for hosting this wonderful night.
