Few things have the power to bring people together and cultivate a sense of teamwork like the beautiful game of football. Oui Capital encourages teams to explore beyond business as usual through the dynamic fusion of competition, camaraderie, and creativity fostered at Startup Cup.

Startup Cup offers a refreshing opportunity, uniting founders, startup employees, investors, and friends of the tech ecosystem on the football pitch. There, talent and teamwork shared the limelight, forging connections and hopefully catalysing further innovation.
