Seed Academy startup survey comes with chance to win R48k worth of training
South African entrepreneurial school Seed Academy has launched a startup survey which gives participants the chance to win one of three places at Seed Academy’s entrepreneur training programme valued at R48 000.
“Whilst more funding and opportunities are available for startups, we need to benchmark where we are and which areas need improvement – we have therefore developed South Africa’s first start up survey,” says Jeff Miller, non-executive chairman of Seed Academy.

According to Miller, “the survey aims to get a national picture of startup entrepreneurs, what challenges they face, what issues relate to funding, what sort of additional support is needed to increase success rates.
“We hope to get up to 1000 responses and we will share our findings. This national survey will develop impetus for industry and government to align efforts to create a more sustainable and successful startup culture in South Africa. It’s essential that we succeed to create an economically successful country and to reduce our high unemployment rate.”
The results will be revealed at Seed Engine’s SA Entrepreneur Funding Summit 2015. This one day summit, Seed Academy says, will involve all stakeholders in the SA entrepreneur funding ecosystem and will come up with practical ideas to enhance, grow and develop the funding networks for entrepreneurs in South Africa.
