Tech Nova Presents: The Tech "March Madness" Challenge
Are you ready for “March Madness”?
Well, in this case, it’s more of the Tech Tournament Challenge. This is our first version of our tech tournament which is inspired by the US March Madness basketball tournament where American Universities face off against each other in a basketball tournament to determine the overall winner.
We started our tournament this week where we match up tech startups against each other and the audience votes for the overall winner. Startups include popular companies including Flutterwave, Uber, Paystack, BitSika, and others.
To participate, you need to be following our Twitter account and vote in our polls. Polls stay up for a week and the winners of each poll advance to the next round. May the best tech startup win!
