In partnership with Microsoft, Flapmax’s twelve-week startup accelerator begins March 21st. The diverse class of entrepreneurs come from 6 different countries, serve 9 industries, and include 2 female founders.

More than 800 applications from 25 countries in Africa were received for the first FAST accelerator cohort.

Applicants represented a diverse mix of technology and cloud-based products and services serving residents and businesses throughout Africa.
