Young Business Minds for Africa @YBM4A

Many startup and entrepreneurship focused events have so many requirements and restrictions. Some of them you cannot even enter without having a registered business.

How does one influence and encourage young people into entrepreneurship if they have never been involved in it, without exposing them to the idea and the actual experiences?

The idea of YBMA is to create a platform that can jumpstart, develop kickstart any young entrepreneur passionate in their craft without asking for too much. We want to create an environment that allows young people to be able to find themselves and their passions because the sooner they do the sooner they can begin a journey to entrepreneurial success.

YBMA is an incubator and a strategic partner to developing and established startups. It is a platform for the young people to crystallise ideas get mentorship and open windows of opportunity to find establishment, success in ideas that will empower and benefit the people of Africa.  Its mandate is to educate empower and uplift the youth especially school leavers in presenting an alternative to finding employment and conceptualise ideas that can create employment for others. We want to create a platform to source the best talent and provide the sufficient grooming and mentorship for our entrepreneurs to perform at their best.

We want to attract Cyclebreakers, people that will change the lives of generations to come. We are not limited to entrepreneurship but offer a holistic approach to becoming a leader and a better person who positively influences and inspires other young people to be great.

The plan is to split the business in two, to form a commercial company that services other ecommerce startups in the food, clothing retail space and other consumables. This side of the company will operate under the name Tsamaya in motion. Tsamaya is a sotho word for go.
