Sources reveal that the first tech-entrepreneur group that would present at the Demo Africa stage in September has emerged, as Flippy Campus team has been named the most outstanding start-up in the just concluded Demo Africa pre-screening event in Accra.

According to a report, out of the 10 teams that pitched at the event, Flippy Campus was the most convincing to the jury on their ability to link innovation, creativity and scalability.

Demo Africa is one of the flagship initiatives of LIONSAfrica and aims to connect African startups to the global ecosystem.

It is the place where the most innovative companies from Africa get a platform to launch their products and announce to Africa and the world what they have developed with the hope of attracting investors. Nigeria hosted this event in 2014.

According to sources, the event which brought together start-ups from across West Africa, had judges Todd Holcombe, senior lecturer at Meltwater Entrepreneurial School of Technology, which has one of the leading acceleration programmes in Africa; Martin Obuya, DEMO Africa’s Accra Event Director, Erick Osiakwan, AfrISPA and Juliet Amoah of BritishCouncil assessed the various solutions from the startups and provided feedback to the teams.

Flippy is a product that improves campus experience by keeping students up to date on current campus happenings. By following the Flippy Campus channels, students are able to follow campus events from their halls and social groups including reminders for these events.
