“We have been running the Pitching Platform for more than three years, and many good ideas have been pitched in the Paid Media vertical. However, this year participants in the Paid Media vertical will have an opportunity to showcase their business ideas to MultiChoice and, if successful, win a share of over R100 000 in seed funding and incubation support in the Nedbank Stellenbosch University LaunchLab facility.” says CEO of Nedbank Stellenbosch University LaunchLab Business Incubator, Philip Marais.

It will include businesses from LaunchLab’s Ideas and Lift-Off programmes, which allow corporates access to external breakthroughs in their industry.
