Student Innovators
The future starts….Now
What We Do
Shaping Africa’s next generation of innovators, thinkers and makers.
Smart-starter
Smart-starter is a program designed for teenagers, and undergraduate students who are passionate about the process of wealth creation through entrepreneurship.
Over the course of the smart-starter program, students create winning businesses cases and build the same way successful startups do – by using the Lean Startup Method. They build confidence and test ideas through networking, customer research, marketing, and pitching. They are guided by mentors to create an investor-style pitch, and their presentations encompass all of the components of their work throughout the program. Students compete to win cash prizes at the final event.
The Smart-starter program was born out of the need to create a pipeline of young entrepreneurs and to prepare African youth for follow-on opportunities.
