An entrepreneurial incubator for South African youth. The Pledge programme gives every ambitious young person a platform to build, and to be seen.
Getting Started exists for the young South African with the idea, the work ethic, and no one to show it to. It is the group's non-profit engine — funded by the ventures it sits beside, designed to create founders rather than employees.
Through the Pledge programme, ambitious young people commit publicly to build, get equipped with mentorship and the group's own tools, and are showcased to partners who can fund them. Philanthropy that compounds: today's pledge is tomorrow's venture.
Any ambitious young South African signs up — a public commitment to build something real.
Mentorship, templates, and access to the group's tools — SCHOOL, AURA, the marketplace.
The best are showcased to the group and its partners — funding, internships, and a platform.
"Every venture is designed to create opportunity, not extract value."
