7 Tell-Tale Signs You Need Us
Signs Propella Is The Right Fit For You
You may have heard of us, seen us online, in the newspaper or maybe you know a guy who knows a guy who knows about us. You are a budding entrepreneur and the employment instability and job losses that have resulted from the COVID-19 pandemic have fueled your fire more than ever. You read all the startup blogs and listen to all the podcasts go on about success and innovation. But where is the fun in that? We put the fun in success and innovation. No really, our values are: Success. Innovation. Fun.
As if these values are not enough, here are 7 (other) signs you need us:
1. You have a tech solution to a social problem and not much else
This is a golden sign. If you have a really good idea in the tech space but lack the know-how to turn the idea into a commercialized product, then you absolutely need us. As one of the first business hubs in South Africa to be fully geared for Business 4.0, we have supported and developed numerous successful business and your idea could be next. We offer programs that assist you with developing a business plan, business model, a minimum viable product and much more.
2. You want to be your own boss
Needless to say, job scarcity in our country predates the current pandemic. Self employment not only empowers you as the entrepreneur but your business will in turn contribute to job creation. The expeditious growth of this socio economic nightmare during the pandemic calls for more entrepreneurship particularly in the tech and digital space.
3. Google does not have all the answers
Google can help you with a 5 step plan to starting a business, but can Google offer expert advice and guidance for your specific business idea? Can google help you foresee and avoid a setback while offering alternative ideas and advice that fit your business model? Propella Business Incubator and Propella Satellite Incubator offer you access to industry experts as mentors throughout your journey.
4. You have tried other incubators
Another golden sign. We provide a uniquely significant entrepreneurial experience and presence in Nelson Mandela Bay. Having opened the Propella Satellite Incubator during the first wave of the COVID-19 virus, this attests to our unrivaled business acumen.
5. You need a headquarters that does not double up as your bedroom or your home garage
