IBM South Africa / Tshimologong Precinct acceleration bootcamp
IBM South Africa plans to next month run a six-week long acceleration bootcamp next month together with Joburg incubator Tshimologong Precinct.
The bootcamp is being run as part of IBM’s Equity Equivalence Investment Programme. Under the Black Economic Empowerment (BEE) codes multinationals that are reluctant to give away ownership can provide the equivalent value in training black people or assisting black entrepreneurs.
The Startup Accelerator bootcamp will take place from 8 October to 16 November and is designed to enable the development of growth-stage tech startups through a series of short, intensive and rigorous modules.
Applications for the bootcamp close on 5 October. About 40 startups will be shortlisted for a pre-selection pitch event which will see between 10 and 12 startups get selected to participate in the bootcamp.
