Testimonial
It’s always a joy to hear that the work we do, has positively reviews.
We have spent 6 years working toward building a sustainable economic environment in South Africa, and we are not stopping anytime soon!
"As an entrepreneur navigating the challenges of EdTech, the YAEI Emerging30 Programme has been instrumental in Ann-Connect’s success. The support provided by the YAEI Emerging30 Innovators programme prepared us for venture capital investment, opening doors to new funding opportunities. Winning the YAEI x Absa cash prize helped us release our Proctoring App, which is now available on major app stores.
The mentorship and networking opportunities have been invaluable, equipping me with the discipline and insight needed to scale Ann-Connect and pursue international opportunities."
"The YAEI Emerging30 Innovators programme has been a game-changer for Aero Greens. The mentorship, networking opportunities, and funding support have been invaluable in turning our vision into a reality. YAEI’s guidance helped us secure partnerships with major programs like the beVisioneers Fellowship and the Jim Leech Mastercard Foundation Fellowship, which were crucial to our progress. Their deep understanding of the entrepreneurial landscape has provided us with the tools needed to innovate and grow, pushing Aero Greens to the forefront of sustainable agricultural solutions.
"The mentorship and support from the YAEI have been instrumental in the growth of KasiConvocation. Their guidance helped refine my brand and marketing strategy, which was crucial for our early success. Through their insights, I was able to secure grant funding and make the platform more user-centric, addressing real problems within the stokvel community. YAEI’s backing has empowered me to move forward confidently, turning my vision for digital stokvels into a reality that will transform financial inclusion in South Africa."
