Three months ago, it started in Jinja.
A call went out to young Ugandans with big ideas for agriculture: GO BIG. GO BOLD.
From 836 applications to bootcamp, due diligence and Pitch Day, the journey has brought us here.
Today, we celebrate the AYuTe Season 5 winners!

"This season, 836 young people applied to the Challenge. These enterprising young minds said, “Yes, I can try to solve a problem and open doors for opportunities to better myself and others."

“Who is your customer?”
“How will you scale?”
“What makes your solution different?”
“What happens with the funding?”
At AYuTe Season 5 Pitch Day, the questions pushed young innovators and entrepreneurs to think deeper, defend their ideas and look beyond the pitch.
#HappeningNow
Solutions are being pitched, ideas are being tested and the judges are listening closely.
Every pitch is a chance to show not just what the solution is, but why it matters and the impact it can create.

The pitch may be today but the work started long ago.
Behind this moment are countless decisions, lessons, adjustments and plenty of hard work.
Today, Kinene Wahab, gets to bring all of that to the AYuTe Season 5 Pitch Day stage.

Sometimes, you just have to take the leap.
Akello Cleopatra has taken theirs, from application to this very moment.
Today, they step into the pitch room with an idea they believe is worth building.
