0

The UCT GSB Solution Space and ayoba have announced the 15 startups selected for the second phase of this year’s e-Track programme.

Run by UCT GSB Solution Space – a specialised centre of the University of Cape Town Graduate School of Business – the e-Track programme is an early-stage venture acceleration and capacity-building programme for high-impact entrepreneurs.

Funded by ayoba, a super-app built to narrow the digital divide in Africa for users while accelerating the digitisation and growth of small businesses, the e-Track programme has two distinct phases. 

Phase one is the Venture Launch programme, which focuses on validating the venture concept and is appropriate for participants that have or want to develop both for-profit and non-profit scale-ups. 

All who successfully complete phase one receive a UCT GSB certificate and are invited to pitch for phase two, where only 15 startups are selected. Phase two is aimed at accelerating the development of the validated venture and culminates in a pitch day, where ventures pitch to a room full of potential investors, venture capitalists and capacity builders that could take the startup to even greater heights.

The selected ventures are childcare platform Nestle Care, recruitment service Timbaktuu Jobs, furniture company Chabi Manufacturers, consumer app Logsandtabs, WhatsApp-based entrepreneurial platform Ubiqous, IoT-based wastewater solution AquiferIQ, ed-tech startup Alchemy Learning AI, mobile marketplace Priventif, mobile game development studio Base2Lab, deliveries platform Stride, recirculation aquaculture system fish farm Clement Foods, disability tech platform Peritia, energy company BEAPCapital, birthday celebration service Cela, and AI and blockchain company Funti3r.

Learning resources over the next four months includes brand and corporate identity portfolio, IP strategy, legal advisory, business domain registration, finance and accounting, and product design and development (MVP).
