2 times a month in the Startup Hypeman newsletter we share a list of upcoming pitch competitions taking place.

Why? Because pitch competitions are a great way to fund your startup in the early days — if you can win.

No one understands how to execute this better than Dapo Kolawole.

He came to me a few years ago when his first startup, Citispoon, was getting off the ground.

We worked on his pitch and shortly after I was receiving almost weekly updates from Dapo telling me he won another competition.

Now on his second startup, Roomii, Dapo has amassed over $170,000 in total winnings across both companies.

He steps to the mic in this week's episode to share his lessons learned and best advice on how to win.
