According to Wale Adegoke, CEO of Nimbus Media, the 20 finalists were selected from over 500 entries following a series of screenings by industry professionals and partners of the Nimbus Aid Project, LSETF and TechCabal. He said that this next phase would allow members of the public to vote and select the eventual 10 winners.
“We are really excited about the 20 finalists selected by our judges and partners. These organisations represent some of the most impactful businesses we have come across over the last few months since we began the Nimbus Aid Project,” he added.
Speaking further, Adegoke pointed out that the selection of the 20 finalists was made through a rigorous process where 20 women-led SMEs and pre-seed startups were selected to advance to the public voting phase that will determine the eventual 10 beneficiaries of the Nimbus Aid Project.
“We believe by supporting these 10 women-led businesses across several sectors with advertising support; we are providing them with economic opportunities that will help them create jobs, grow the economy and impact communities.” Wale Adegoke said.
