ABOUT THE BOOK

Johannesburg is a metropolis comprised of cultures from across the continent of Africa. Home to more than 90,000 students and a diverse community of artists, musicians and creators, South Africa’s largest city is quickly becoming a hub for young entrepreneurs.

As an international center for finance and trade with a growing tech industry, the city’s increasing number of startups have the perfect platform on which to build upon. As well, with more VCs than ever investing in African startups, the future of Johannesburg’s entrepreneurial ecosystem looks bright.

 

Startup Guide Johannesburg will provide an inside look at some of the city’s most successful startups. It will also include inspiring interviews with innovative founders and advice from the foremost experts in the local startup scene. We’re excited to share with the world what Johannesburg’s innovative and creative types have to offer!
