​Education

Startup Huddle builds local startup communities while crowd-sourcing advice and support, one entrepreneur at a time. Run by the Global Entrepreneurship Network (GEN), it consists of monthly, if not weekly, gatherings of local community and business leaders, founders, government and investors. Fueled by a hyper-localized 'Small and Medium-Sized Enterprise' (SME) directory, the GEN Sandton Startup Huddle is devoted to nurturing a thriving Afro-Politan startup environment by acting as a vehicle for the dissemination of public and private sector information and socioeconomic initiatives.

The focus

The proposed agribusiness venture will focus on the cultivation, processing, packaging, storage, and sale of natural medicines, essential oils, and seed oils. By capitalizing on the growing demand for alternative medicine and nutritional foods, the business will offer a diverse range of products made from locally sourced plants and herbs. This initiative aims to meet market demand while creating employment opportunities for local harvesters and farm workers.
