99 Startups Monthly Newsletter - February 2024
We are in the final days of reviewing applications for our acceleration program. We have seen a lot of great teams trying to solve huge problems in the region.
We are really excited about this initiative and can’t wait to share with you the great companies we are going to invest in!
At 99 Startups we will be making a 12-week acceleration program where we will invest $50k USD in 3 or 4 companies, in exchange for a 3% equity ownership. Our focus will be on building the next community of founders who want to build for at least the next 10 years.
The program will be starting on February 21st.
