Last chance for Gauteng startups to apply for SBC Africa FastTrack

This is the last call to applications for high-growth, high-potential tech-enabled startups from the Gauteng region to apply to the FastTrack happening in Johannesburg on 9 May 2018.

The Cape Town Accelerator was a huge success resulting in a record 32 corporate agreements, including pilots and proof-of-concepts.

Philip Kiracofe, co-founder and CEO of SBC Africa, and Zachariah George, co-founder and Chief Investment Officer of SBC Africa, explain that FastTrack events are a rare opportunity for startups across the globe to present their businesses to an elite group of mentors comprising industry experts, corporate executives and investors.

Through more than two hours of personal, dedicated one-on-one feedback from mentors and specialists, startups are able to engage with the Startupbootcamp global community and also meet industry executives and access international opportunities.

The Johannesburg FastTrack will be held on 9 May 2018 at the Old Mutual Head Office in Sandton. Applications are invited from disruptive startups in industries including blockchain, connected devices, payment solutions, capital markets and asset management, integrated supply chain, e-commerce, alternative financing, identity management, digital connectivity, data and behavioural analytics and enabling technologies.

This is the last chance for Gauteng startups to meet face-to-face with top executives, thought leaders, industry experts, mentors, sponsors and investors.

Apply before 8 May 2018.
