In the first cohort of the programme, nine startups were selected, graduating with a demo day in July of this year. After a thorough review process, six startups were selected to join the second cohort of the programme. They are expense management platform Expensa, savings and investments platform Gwiza, mobile money service Hepta Pay, business management solution Kayko, school payments solution SchoolNest Pay, and financial services for farmers platform Smart Ikigega. Over the next three months, CcHub will be supporting the teams to achieve product stability and scalability, market readiness and investment.

This second cohort of the programme will conclude with a demo day in December, where the startups will present to investors.
