Gansbaai & Stanford Entrepreneurs Gear Up for Seed Funding

Entrepreneurship update:

31 participants joined the 3-day workshop offered in Stanford this week. Their energy and excitement grew each day.

The next step for participants from the Gansbaai and Stanford workshops is to work on their business pitches. We can't wait to see where they take their ideas and which ones take off.

They will pitch their business ideas to a selection panel who will scrutinise their plans and award 12 months of business mentorship and seed funding grants to up to 20 businesses.

If this group is anything to go by, Stanford is in for a treat of energy and passion.

Here is a story published in the local newspaper about one of Grootbos Foundation's entrepreneurs who turned his small grant and business mentorship journey into a success from humble beginnings. We are proud of this bin-cleaning entrepreneur.
