A bit more about Union54 by @FinTech_Futures!

@Beardless_Sheik Africa is the target market - 54 launches and an IPO is the motto!

@weareunion54 sounds like something actually pan-african with African technology! I like it! I really do! Well done

@ChipoMuwowo Union54 speaks to our thesis: Africa lacks a solid financial infrastructure to propel us into the future we want. So we work with founders from anywhere in Africa, and give them capital + technical support they need to serve their communities and make trade easier.

@ThapeloTimothy @mwiyas We have a rolling applications process for investment and the accelerator dates will be announced later this week.

On this topic. @weareunion54 will be investing in startups coming out of this hub. Real dollars so you can make real progress. More about this later this week. If you’re a crazy smart person that wants to be involved. Shoot an email to becoming@union54.com

@MiebachMichael Congrats @MiebachMichael - was never in doubt you would be the one to do it 🔥
