Seed Engine, the early stage venture accelerator, recently announced the first six startups that will receive R100 000 startup capital as part of its acceleration programme. The funding goes toward helping the startups convert their ideas into practical business plans. In May, the startups hope to raise between R200 000 and R2-million in additional funding at a showcase event with investor attendance.
So, what has the inaugural Seed Engine experience been like? We’ve been given four videos of Seed Engine finalists talking about their ventures, and their journey as part of an accelerator. The consensus appears to be that the experience has been gruelling, but rewarding.
Applications are open for the second Seed Engine Business Accelerator which is again offering R100 000 each for up to ten tech business ideas as well as a 13 week boot camp. The programme offers coaching, mentoring, workspace and access to investors on demo day where further funding is likely.
