Enough of the third person:
Hi and welcome,
ZApreneur has been online since 2011.
When starting out ZApreneur was an attempt to tackle the full gambit of social and economic issues facing South Africa. Over the years, the focus has become more focused – on small businesses and entrepreneurs. This wonderful experience has meant I have spoken to literally hundreds of entrepreneurs, and failed and succeeded with each of these businesses.
The focus is now even narrower – not just small business, but small online businesses. This is where we hope to make a significant difference. The potential excites me, as does the possibility of providing a space that supports smaller companies.
I hope you join us on this adventure.
