Bodibeng Technology Incubator (BTI) is looking to invest in special entrepreneurs who have big ideas and who need seed capital to turn their ideas into action.
We also have partners that would like to acquire a percentage stake in companies that build Web and wireless-based applications with software development.
Funding opportunity for one or more SMME
A private funder is looking to fund a suitable enterprise with up to R1 million through the BTI. We have for some time now realised that there is a great need for seed funding in the SMME development arena. Specifically for entrepreneurs that are looking for smaller amounts up to R1 million. We are fortunate to have found people that have the resources and the right attitude towards entrepreneurial development.
If you are interested in funding, the deadline date for this round is before 20 January 2006. (http://www.bti.co.za/funding/login.asp)

BTI shows you the money: BTI deal facilitation and sales opportunities
The BTI is actively using the profiles of registered clients and users to facilitate investment deal flow and sales opportunities. We use your profile and other information to properly match you with the appropriate opportunities.
With new investors interested in financing and investing in the incubator`s clients as well as increasing interest from the procurement departments of large corporates (including the big banks and other blue chip companies), it is imperative that you update your profiles on the BTI Web site.
When filling in the descriptive text, keep in mind we use key word searches just like Google and other search engines use. While the company description should be in readable format, the real value will be reaped by using words that describe key aspects of what you do, including skill sets, market focus and main lines of business.
Our investors and procurement enquiries seek businesses of all types and sizes, so please fill out your profile completely and accurately. In this way, membership of the BTI domain becomes more valuable in real rands and cents. If you haven`t updated your profile, please do so today. If you haven`t yet registered, please register now (it`s FREE). To register, go to http://www.bti.co.za/reg/register.asp. To update your profile, go to http://www.bti.co.za/reg/login.asp.
