What is Imo Impact DealDay?

A pitch event run by the arise syndicate. Imo Impact DealDay will run quarterly, and the first event will take place on the morning of Friday, July 15th.

Imo Impact DealDay will bring arise members, other angel investors and Imo Impact ecosystem players together at an event where the very best startup ventures (across sectors) are guaranteed funding. Each participating investment syndicate will deploy up to N5 million on the day.

what does this mean?
Must the business be located in Imo?
or
Should it have some sort of transaction(s) from Imo?

@ngozidozie I wouldn’t mind if you can lend your voice to these questions
