Nigeria’s digital publishing platform, Publiseer, has been selected to pitch at Startup Turkey Top 100 Demo Day. In an email from Elif Coskunkan, the company was made aware of its selection to Startup 100.

Publiseer was selected as the top 100 from 120,000 startup applications from 150 countries. Only 1% of the startups that applied were selected to join the Startup Turkey full program to take place on the 26th to 29th of April in Istanbul, Turkey, which includes pitching on the main stage. This is coming just a week after Publiseer emerged the winner at the Startup World Cup Nigeria Regional Competition, thus securing a place at the grand finale in Silicon Valley.

I’m happy that we’re one of those African startups, and we’ll work even harder to move higher in the ranks,” says Chidi Nwaogu, who recently was shortlisted for the Yunus & Youth Global Fellowship Program for Social Entrepreneurs 2019, and was selected to be one of the 25 Young Founders for the Spring 2019 Westerwelle Young Founders Programme.
