This post may not be your cup of tea and it’s fine. You may run one of those startups too cool to participate in local startup competitions. That’s also alright.

But if you run a high potential startup operating out of Nigeria, you may want to look at and apply for the Union Bank Startup Connect (http://unionbank100.com/startupconnect/).

If achieving rapid and sustainable growth is your priority for your business, then you should appreciate the opportunity to partner with a large corporate with reach and resources across the country that you can tap into.

Union Bank, Nigeria’s 2nd oldest bank, is looking for high potential startups working at the intersection of tech and either Agriculture, Education or Financial Inclusion to collaborate with in a mutually beneficial partnership.

This is not for “I just started” startups.

This is for serious businesses who have achieved product-market fit, achieved some traction (evidenced in user base and revenue) and with a product/service that is innovative & scalable.

The selected startups will get access to the bank’s 3 million+ customer base, 350 sales and service centres across the 36 states & Abuja and dedicated staff support to integrate their product/service with the bank in the quickest possible time.

If you want to take advantage of this offer, go to http://unionbank100.com/startupconnect/. Deadline for application is this Friday, 1st of September, 2017 so don’t waste time. The application form is very straightforward.
