Hack&Pitch, entrepreneurship accessible to all
It all started one day when I was visiting a museum in New York with a friend of mine and I received a call from an other friend who was working got a big company at the time.
He told me at he would like to carry out a marketing action with developers for his company, and I immediately had a flash saying why not launch a Hackathon and suggest to these young developers to use my Screendy platform to imagine solutions and why not even set up their own startups.
He thought it was a great idea; so we organized this hackathon and it was a great success.
That’s how it all started, and that’s how Hack&Pitch was founded. Hack&Pitch NGO to raise entrepreneurship awareness at the University level, deploying entrepreneurship seminars, Hackathons, competitions & bootcamps in more than 100 universities and institutions across the 12 regions of Morocco, and I was so happy to do it, because we were able to discover incredible young talents, who have nothing to envy to the talents of Silicon Valley.
Seeing all the impact we have been able to create, Hack&Pitch has carried out actions even beyond Morocco, in Africa, such as in Senegal, in Mali, Burkina Faso, Jordan… Today, I handed over the torch the friend that was with me that day in the museum, who has taken this association to another dimension with her team, always with the mission of creating even more impact and inspiring its young aspiring entrepreneurs.
A success that has allowed the NGO to now have its own incubator, the HACKSPACE AGR INDH by HACK&PITCH at heart of the Prefecture of AIn Chock, with 3 floors dedicated to tech innovation. entrepreneurial
