Mobile Application Start-Up ‘StartupApp’ Aims To Create A Network To Connect The African Start-Up Ecosystem. StartupApp is an app-based network that aims to quickly and easily connect the African start-up ecosystem. People can discover ideas, tools and experts to grow their business. It consists of a community of entrepreneurs and investors ready to change the world and people can connect with these innovators and investors with just a click, they get to engage, explore and execute ideas to grow the African economy.
The company connects service providers, economic developers, mentors, investors and entrepreneurship support organisations to small businesses, start-ups and self-starters. “I founded StartupApp because many entrepreneurs lacked access to methodology, guidance and found it very hard to navigate the start-up ecosystem as it was too fragmented and I am very excited to be a part of revolutionising the way that entrepreneurs and start-ups bootstrap their innovative ideas.” founder of StartupApp Sandile Shabangu said on the company’s website.
The company remains committed to ensuring that entrepreneurs, start-ups and self-starters are able to access the best resources to start and stay started in business no matter where they are from. Sandile has built his foundation as an apex organisation delivering experience-centred entrepreneurship development programs in South Africa and he continues to contribute to the future of South Africa start-ups by helping them to start and stay started in business. StartupApp acts as a lightning conductor for the start-up revolution in Africa connecting all stakeholders via a single platform, providing a nurturing ecosystem. People can get to learn about upcoming projects, including new inventions and privately funded ventures.
StartupApp helps start-ups get the right services and connections at the right time, and helps public & private service providers target their services to the specific needs of the start-ups and other ecosystem stakeholders. The company also describes itself as Africa’s true one-stop-shop of real-time information about ecosystem, people, start-ups, events, services, support organisations and beyond. It is visualising the pulse of ecosystem activities by start-up development phase, location, type, time and more.
