How Aions Creative Technology Created A Platform For All South Africans To Invest In StartUps. South Africa is in dire straits. Unemployment is at an all-time high, and the divide between the privileged and poor is growing exponentially. Aions Creative Technology aims to offer a beacon of hope, making people believe in B-BBEE again.

The company identify’s and invests in sound and innovative startups who can grow aggressively from a valuation point of view, and who have the potential to be sustainable and create permanent and valuable jobs. It has created a platform for ALL South Africans to participate in the investment and growth of startups and ultimately benefit in the wealth created by mentioned startups, without the barriers and limitations of traditional stock investment options.
Mitchan “Mitch” Adams, founder and CEO of AIONS Creative Technology, was born in Riverlea, went to primary school in Coronationville, high school in Bosmont and was raised in Fleurhof. He has first hand experience of the hardships of township living. The lack of opportunity and access to facilities as well as the non-existence of good role models, misguides youthful energy into negative activity, setting themselves back, those close to them and the community at large.
He is regarded as a thought leader in the industry and has travelled the world speaking at international conferences. He regards one of the key reasons for his success to be exposure. What he regards as unfortunate, is that access to this sort of exposure only exists in affluent areas such as Sandton, Rosebank and the Cape Town CBD. With his achievements and experience backing him, Mitchan has decided to dedicate his time to make the exposure he gained, more accessible to the communities he comes from, with improvements based on his learnings throughout his journey. His mission is to create sustainable jobs by making businesses more sustainable.
