ABOUT
Hey Techies and startups in Johannesburg and Pretoria,!
The reality is that tech entrepreneurs in Africa are faced with a small market for clients and a small market for raising finance when compared to other parts of the world. However, there are still plenty of important African problems to be solved. How do these entrepreneurs access opportunities where there is limited access and grow their businesses. Well entrepreneurs create their opportunities and those are the ones driving Africa's exploding start-up scene.
Lets talk tech startups and financing in South Africa, what are the challenges and how have those that are successful done it.
We will also talk about how women are empowered through digital technology and about how to access finance from Japan, Korea and China.
Please join us with an evening of meaningful conversation and networking with tech entrepreneurs and startup leaders.
