What is ipo48? It is an annual tech even held in Kenya, where a group of IT guys come together and try to bring their ideas into fruition within 48 hours. After the 48 hours are up, the winning company is chosen, and they go home with a significant investment in their business.

Last year's winner was M-Farm, an application that helps farmers get their produce to market more efficiently. They went home with a 1 million shilling investment.

This year's prize money has been nearly tripled to 2.5 million shillings, and the finalists have been chosen. You can view the list of finalists in the link below:

Judging from those startups listed, which one do you think stands a good chance of winning the prize?

@madollar unfortunately, I don't think M-RENT qualified for the finals. Look out for the ones with the badge attached. Those are the ones who qualified.
