Are you a problem solver? A risk-taker? Do you see yourself as an entrepreneur?
If you answered, yes. Then you are the perfect candidate for the e-Track programme – an early-stage venture acceleration and capacity-building programme for high-impact entrepreneurs brought to you by UCT GSB Solution Space, an innovation and entrepreneurship hub associated with the University of Cape Town Graduate School of Business (which is Africa’s leading triple-crowned business school), in partnership with ayoba.
The programme is proudly funded by ayoba, a SuperApp (all-in-one app) built to narrow the digital divide in Africa for users while accelerating the digitisation and growth of small businesses. With over 20 million active users, the platform promotes hyper-local content through its channels feature, which gives users access to free content across diverse categories ranging from news, sports, fashion, education, entertainment, games, music and more. Additionally, the app helps small business accelerate their growth through the MicroApps.
The e-Track programme has two distinct phases. Phase one is the Venture Launch programme which focuses on validating the venture concept – and it is appropriate for participants that have or want to develop both for-profit and non-profit scale-ups. All who successfully complete phase 1 will receive a UCT GSB certificate and be invited to pitch for phase 2, where only 15 start-ups are selected.
Phase two is aimed at accelerating the development of the validated venture and culminates in a Pitch Day, where ventures pitch to a room full of potential investors, venture capitalists and capacity builders that could take the start-up to even greater heights.
How long is the programme?
Phase 1, which is currently open for applications, takes place over 5-weeks entirely online starting in April 2023.
Phase 2 happens over 12-weeks starting in July 2023.
