We solve two problems with one business. We enable new and experienced entrepreneurs to turn their business ideas/concepts into a reality and we untap the potential of talented graduates. Using our unique program, skills and networks, university graduates gain experience and knowledge in their fields, as well as find fulfilling jobs while business ideas are turned into reality.As entrepreneurs, we recognise it takes talent and capital to launch a new business. Plenty of smart people have plenty of smart ideas about new business opportunities. Mostly, these go nowhere because those people don’t have the resources, talent, skills, drive, experience or capability to turn the ideas into a tangible business. We do! We work with budding entrepreneurs to take their concept and turn it into a successful business by assisting with business building activities such as marketing, sales testing and development, finance and funding, engineering, market analysis and testing and more. To assist us in building the business, we recruit a team of 6-8 graduates for each project (founding shareholders of the start-up) who work with us and our entrepreneur on building the business. While conducting business building activities, we will be mentoring the graduates with weekly training courses (interview skills, networking and presentation, CV development, business building and more) as well as introducing them to our vast network in the hope that once the project is launched the graduates will have a job with the start-up, with us or an external opportunity.
