Startup Mzansi Ventures, Startup Mzansi Foundation, Startup Institute and various businesses are working together to signpost companies to startupmzansi.app – a single online source where they can find information on all the business support services available across South Africa regardless of location, sector, size or stage of development.
StartupApp is a streamlined, user-centric platform that South Africa’s business owners can use to access targeted support to help them realise their goals – whether they’re looking to start-up, develop or transform. Launched in 2016, StartupApp was designed to help South African businesses more easily navigate the busy support landscape from a single online entry point and to find the support they need quickly.
Sandile Shabangu, Startup Mzansi lead, comments: “StartupApp gives everyone an overview of all the support offered by public and private sector organisations across South Africa. Since its launch in 2016, the website has been used over 1.35m times by those looking for support, and we hope that this campaign will encourage anyone looking to start up or grow their business to visit startupmzansi.app to access the support they need right now.”
This resource is needed now more than ever, with many companies facing disruption across global, national and local trading environments as well as ever-changing market dynamics and the effects of COVID and the climate emergency.
Businesses can visit StartupApp for a range of support including online resources, webinars and funding applications, depending on their individual needs. This includes:
- Advice on how to start-up
- Strategic advice on finding new markets or increasing sales
- Innovation support to identify new products and services
- How to start-up or run a more sustainable business
- Covid support and advice
With so much help and advice available from the various partner organisations, the ‘Whatever Your Startup Needs’ campaign will help ensure this gets to the right people at the right time. It is hoped it will inspire many more businesses to visit startupmzansi.app to help them reach their goals and achieve their full potential.
