We’re partnering with UCT GSB Solution Space again to launch the 2023 e-Track programme aimed at supporting startups across the continent. If you consider yourself a problem-solver, risk-taker and an aspiring entrepreneur, then you are the perfect candidate for the e-Track Programme.

The e-Track Programme is an early-stage venture acceleration and capacity-building programme for high-impact entrepreneurs brought to you by UCT GSB Solution Space in partnership with ayoba.

The e-Track programme has two distinct phases. Phase one is the Venture Launch programme which focuses on validating the venture concept – and it is appropriate for participants that have or want to develop both for-profit and non-profit scale-ups.

All who successfully complete phase one will receive a UCT GSB certificate and be invited to pitch for phase two, where only 15 start-ups are selected.

Phase one takes place over the course of five weeks, entirely online, starting in April 2023. Applications for phase one are currently open and close on the 29th of March 2023.

Phase two is aimed at accelerating the development of the validated venture and culminates in a Pitch Day, where ventures pitch to a room full of potential investors, venture capitalists and capacity builders that could take the start-up to even greater heights. Phase two takes place over 12 weeks starting in July 2023.

Not only does joining this programme help you build your business, you also become part of the start-up ecosystem, get access to a wealthy network through our partners and potentially, access to local markets. Additionally, you have access to co-working spaces, seasoned industry experts and advisory services that are bound to change the trajectory of your venture.

So if you are a daring entrepreneur, this programme is for you!

Check the UCT GSB Solution Space channel for application instructions and let us help you take your start-up to the next level.
