The story

In 2019, we set off on a journey with Alima and Peter, founders of Cowtribe, an African startup selected amongst hundreds to participate in the Seedstars Summit 2019. From their home place in Ghana to the pitching competition in Lausanne, Switzerland, we followed their footsteps to capture their path as entrepreneurs and actors of change in their community.
