We’re just from the second day of startup pitches of the ZOL Jumpstart Challenge. Tired but in high spirits. From an initial total of 43 startup applications, today, 6 emerged as the finalists. The feeling this year across the board, and something we’re very encouraged by, is that the quality of startups has improved significantly since last year. The quality of pitching too has increased quite well.
We will feature all top 10 startups in separate articles later, but for now here are the 6 that made it today are below. (The listing is in alphabetic order.)

Note error» RLMS stands for Remote Livestock Marketing System
Thanks Allister. fixed!
My advice is to also think about a second name that is easier to remember or type when its public facing. RLMS may not be easy for the average small-holder farmer to remember. L and M can be mixed up, even by myself.
Thanks Tinm@n, any suggestions, something every farmer in Africa understands and that suggests online livestock marketing?
Not too sure. Will think about it and share later. Perhaps,you could get help from others as well.
Well done to all those guys who participated in this year’s start up challenge.Best of luck to the finalists!
