Invest R1,000 in SA’s future
Crowdfunding is an excellent initiative by Eve Dmochowska to jump-start South African tech startups.
The idea is simple – a bunch of people each invest R1,000 [or multiples thereof] in a pooled fund which then gets allocated to startups based on merit.
The startups get funding [clearly not too much, but enough to get them through the initial tough phase], as well as support such as mentoring to improve their chances of success.
Investors get an opportunity to invest in the future of South Africa by helping support these young startups.
I think it’s a great idea and will be taking part to see how it plays out.
Good luck to the team and the startups that take part!
