Experience and expertise delivering value

GrowthAfrica has since 2002 in various ways been working with and supporting SME and entrepreneurs.

Through the pivots that the organisation has undertaken over the years it has developed a broad range of experience, expertise and insights into areas required for entrepreneurs to grow.

It has equipped us with knowledge, insights and services to support from idea stage startups across post-revenue ventures to early stage SME.
