Startup Session
Three Gauteng-based entrepreneurs – Mikkel, David and Jarrod – have piloted two “Startup Sessions” over the past few months. The concept is a fantastic one and we at the JCSE are keen to support this initiative by providing a venue and some logistical support. We held our first “Startup Session” on the 2nd and 3rd October at Wits University.
The basic goal of the weekend was to start at least one company.
We did this by gathering a group of people that were all interested in becoming IT entrepreneurs. Those participants that have a business idea got a chance to pitch the idea (the elevator pitch). People then volunteered their weekend to help bring ideas that they believe in towards prototype stage.
