STARTUP AWARD
NYEF Startup Awards, organized by NYEF Kathmandu Chapter is a premier competition and bootcamp for enthusiastic and driven entrepreneurs like you because we believe that you want to nurture your startup into a scalable business. If your startup has been in the market for less than 5 years, this is just the right platform.
Our objective is to develop a business ecosystem in Nepal through the means of exposure, mentorship and investment. We will equip you with an intense mentorship program and then provide you a platform to pitch your business in front of a panel of judges.
