Deadline: August 7, 2019.

Microtraction was founded in 2017 to be the most accessible and preferred source of pre-seed funding for remarkable African technology entrepreneurs building companies and products that solve important challenges being faced on the continent.

At Microtraction, they understand that we have to innovate on Africa’s innovation infrastructure.
