Introducing the finalists.
Following a rigorous, multi-stage evaluation process, we are pleased to present the startups advancing to the final stage of the South East Pitch Competition across both tracks.
These ventures have demonstrated strong problem–solution alignment, evidence of execution, and credible potential to scale. They represent a diverse and growing pipeline of innovation emerging from the region.
From early-stage founders building and validating their ideas, to more advanced startups showing traction and market readiness, this cohort reflects both depth and range.
The next stage is the Grand Finale, where these startups will present before investors, operators, policymakers, and the wider ecosystem.
The work continues.

Yesterday, we hosted Mark Okoye (@mark_okoye_ii ) on the latest edition of our Meet the Leader Series, and it was an honest and insightful conversation about navigating a career in public service. His journey from being a young commissioner to leading the South East Development Commission (@sedcgov ) offered a powerful perspective for every Shaper and young person present in the room.
Mark reminded us that early success should not merely be seen as a trophy, but a weighty responsibility. He emphasised the importance of offering value to people, taking initiative, and leveraging relationships for career growth.
He also advised young people to play the long game of problem-solving over seeking quick recognition, and to uphold values like truth and hard work.
We’re grateful to our wonderful guest for honoring our invitation and to all attendees for showing up and engaging.
