Pitch Perfect Africa celebrates and supports entrepreneurs developing health-focused innovations across Africa. Six H2i Level 2 ventures will be selected to pitch their innovations to a panel of expert judges. Pitch Perfect was created to provide early-stage H2i ventures with funding and pitch opportunities, and to help ventures strengthen their investment readiness through a competitive pitch experience. The programme expanded to H2i's African venture community in 2025.
Key Eligibility Criteria
To qualify, applicants must meet both of the following requirements:
- Venture Status: Be a current H2i Level 2 HENT venture, in the Discovery stage of H2i's four-level venture development model, onboarded by a lead mentor by August 31, 2026. No exceptions.
- Prior Wins: Not have previously won Pitch Perfect Africa. Past finalists who did not win are welcome to reapply.
Note: this competition is restricted to ventures already inside H2i's programme, not open to entrepreneurs generally.
Benefits
Three ventures will each receive a CAD $5,000 Innovation Fellowship.
