Introduction

The Tshwane entrepreneurial talk it’s a program designed to develop young people into entrepreneurship, providing them with a platform to interact with prominent business leaders. The very most idea of the entrepreneurial Talk is to organize mentors to both current and aspiring entrepreneurs and change their mind-set about entrepreneurship and provide them not only with mentorship but support them in managing their business and taking it to the next level. We aim to turn entrepreneurship into a lifestyle in South Africa.

About

It’s a program designed for young entrepreneurs, with the aim of changing their mind-set about starting their businesses and also how to expand their businesses. We believe that Capital is not a barrier in starting a business, only if the mind-set is at the right place.

Tshwane Entrepreneurial Talk will invite business leaders such as the Operation Director of The Hookup Dinner “Pakiso Tsotetsi”, Kagiso Mogotsi the owner of Ukutula Travelers and many more who will engage with young entrepreneurs about starting a business, growing it, how to make a success out of their businesses, helping them run their business successfully after the program and all the struggles and obstacles that come with starting a business. The business leaders will offer advices in all the hardships that they may have encountered in the business environment.

We hope to make this a quarterly event as this events will play a vital role in the journey of this young entrepreneurs .People who will be attending the workshop will not be charged to be part of this event because we believe that the information that will be shared among the people attending it’s of essential and should be accessible to ever individual.

Tshwane Entrepreneurial Talk will be attended by aspiring young entrepreneurs who want to learn more about entrepreneurship and leadership. The approximate number of young entrepreneurs who will be attending the event is expected to be around 150 to 200 because on our first event we managed to bring over 100 young entrepreneurs in one place, on 27 January 2017 at Es’kia Mphahlele Library (Sammy Marks). On the first event a lot of people couldn’t attend because the venue couldn’t accommodate everyone and we saw that, the is a growing demand in what we do with our business leaders.
