The Foundation for Youth Initiative (FYI) held a two-day refresher training from March 12th to 13th for the first cohort of the Orange Corners program in South Sudan. The training aimed to prepare participants for the upcoming Orange Corners Innovation Fund Pitch Competition.
Caroline Mburu from the Cooperative Bank of South Sudan led a session on refining business ideas, while FYI consultant Patrick Gambwa facilitated discussions on the Business Model Canvas and financial analysis. On the second day, Grace Nyawech covered business plan development, followed by Grace Garang, who introduced pitch techniques for the upcoming demo day.
Caroline concluded the training with an overview of lending products and the opportunity for participants to open startup accounts. The training provided valuable networking opportunities, and the cohort set a date for the much-anticipated Alumni Pitch Competition, where top business ideas will compete for funding.
