Ok, so we admit, we searched high and low to get this info. Eventually, it came from the source aka the Lagos Angel Network today. Sigh.
Turns out the winners of Quarter 1 of the Lagos Startup Deal Day event that held in March this year are....(drum roll).... Big Cabal Media and Cafe Neo!
Café Neo is one of the fastest growing coffee chains on the continent. They provide the best coffee from Africa, and also a place for customers to dream, create, and meet great people. Big Cabal Media is a top online media company. They are the publishers of TechCabal, one of the foremost tech news sites in Nigeria, as well as Zikoko and EbolaFacts.
The Lagos Angel Network has already announced the Q2 Lagos Startup Deal Days event holding June, 2016. There were nearly 250 applications for the first Startup Deal Day event
so LAN is expecting another successful outing.
This year, LAN plans to raise N100 million from its members and is working with key players in the tech ecosystem to make StartUp Deal Day a quarterly event. The Lagos Angel Network is Nigerias most active angel network and is believed to be Africas largest. Since its establishment in 2014, LAN has been working to create a network of angels interested in investing in and mentoring early-stage ventures in Nigeria. Till date LAN members have invested in dozens of startups across the coutnry.
The event was organised in conjunction with VC4Africa, TechCabal, the Africa Business Angel Network (ABAN), Lagos based hubs, incubators and accelerators. LAN has already announced that the Startup DealDay Q2 will hold sometime in June, 2016.
We at TheTechTiger congratulate both Cafe Neo and Big Tech Media on this big win.
