Hope you had a good weekend?

To begin the week, we have a summary of the Big 5 news for you.

Applications are ongoing for the second edition of the 2019 FbStart Accelerator program. The cohort is open to startups who use either Artificial Intelligence, Internet of Things, Data Science or Augmented Reality. Interested startup teams from Ghana and Nigeria with existing products or technical expertise should apply here.

MTN Ghana has started paying mobile money subscribers the interest for the first quarter of 2019. They plan to issue out a total of $3.33 million to the 10.6 million mobile money subscribers. The interest payment is a good way MTN Ghana encourages their mobile money subscribers to invest in financial securities.
