Pivot 25- The Winners

During the conference...

Pivot 25 is an mlab initiative to bring focus on the Mobile developer and entrepreneur community in East Africa. It was a two-day mobile apps competition and developer conference held at Ole Sereni Hotel along Mombasa Road.

I couldn’t make it to the first day of the conference, unavoidable circumstances you see (okay, lunch with a CEO, that’s what kept me away).

On the second day, I was assisting in blogging the event live at Afrinnovator

At the end of the day, the winners were announced, and the event declared a success! It’s supposed to be an annual event so we look forward to next year.

So here are the winners (copied generously from Afrinnovator)
