The Innovation Hub, together with the University of Pretoria and Ideabank, will host the first Ideacamp for online entrepreneurs on the 3rd of November from 14h00 to 20h00 at The Innovation Hub in Pretoria.
Do you have an idea for the next successful online application and only need to align yourself to a killer team consisting of marketing, business and “geek” brains to make it happen?
Then you cannot miss this opportunity! The Ideacamp has been established to help make your business idea a reality.
This forum will address issues relevant to launching online applications with global potential. Topics of discussion will include:
* Innovation, revenue models, African potential
* Incubation, angel funding, venture funding, developing on a shoestring
* Choosing the best development platform for your application
* Creating the right strategy and putting together the best team
The second phase of the Ideacamp, dubbed Business Beat, helps structure teams that will compile a business plan and demo model of an online application with revenue potential. Each team will then present their concept to a number of pre-approved venture capitalists to contend for funding. The best three teams will be eligible for space into The Innovation Hub's Business Incubator to fully develop their application.
Business Beat is scheduled for the beginning of 2009; it is a prerequisite that applicants interested in Business Beat attend the Ideacamp in November 2008.
