About the Fully Funded MTN Solutions Space Venture Incubation Programme for digital Entrepreneurs

The Venture Incubation Programme (VIP) is designed to provide a supportive ecosystem to help startups build viable and scalable innovation-driven companies. Startups have access to a range of resources including co-working space, practical learning clinics, mentors, weekly check-ins and staff advisors, and a community of peers who learn and grow together.

The VIP offers startups several key advantages. We’re located in the heart of the V&A Waterfront, where startups are on the doorstep of Africa’s fastest-growing tech hub. We offer proof-of-concept (POC) collaboration opportunities with our industry partner MTN Group and a pool of early-stage investors.

MTN Group is looking for startups that are either building a sustainable Africa through digital solutions for health, education, agriculture, fintech, energy, and IoT, or enabling businesses through digital solutions for religion, sport, news, and e-commerce. The program takes place in Cape Town, South Africa, between 3 April- 30 June 2018. The lead participant needs to be physically in Cape Town for the duration of the program.

Requirements of the Fully Funded MTN Solutions Space Venture Incubation Programme for digital Entrepreneurs

Digital Startups

For the current program at the Solution Space Waterfront, we are looking for startups that are developing digital solutions across health, education, agriculture, fintech, energy IoT, religion, sport, news, and e-commerce.

PROTOTYPE / MVP

Most of the startups enter with some sort of business case, the early version of a product, and a couple of team members. They have a working prototype with a minimum feature set ready to conduct early-market testing to further establish product and market fit.

TEAM OF 2+

We’re not looking for single founders, but teams of at least two with the right balance of skills and ability to build, test and deliver. The founder or majority shareholder must be the lead participant and must have the ability to commit full-time to the program over the three months.

OPPORTUNITY & TRACTION

The initial concept development demonstrates a deep and intimate understanding of the problem and market need or opportunity. The idea must have progressed beyond concept and should demonstrate evidence of early market testing, customers, revenues, patents, or intellectual property filings.

Benefits:

MTN INDUSTRY PARTNERSHIP

Selected startups will gain access to MTN APIs, MTN Service Delivery Platform, MTN technical experts, and mentors to provide feedback and guidance and a package of support from technology partners.

ENTREPRENEURSHIP SKILLS

We apply a learning-by-doing approach. At workshops and clinics, startups learn founder fundamentals and core skills focused on moving the business forward. Startups apply what they learn through practical outcomes from each session.

ADVISORY SERVICES

Access to pro-bono partners and a network of consultants to support with specialist expertise e.g. legal, HR, digital user experience, venture capital.

FEEDBACK & GUIDANCE

Startups receive valuable feedback and guidance from our Entrepreneur-in-Residence and network of experienced mentors and industry partners. Each startup is paired with a mentor for the program and has access to the Solution Space’s network of GSB alumni and corporate partners.

CO-WORKING & COMMUNITY

We focus on building a vibrant community of entrepreneurs and offer a calendar of regular events designed to increase a startup’s knowledge and expand its network. We prioritize peer learning and mentoring through access to our co-working space and regular office hours.

Application Deadline: 28th of February every year.
