Large multi-cultural population groups


• ••

Developing an entrepreneurial culture

Low tolerance for entrepreneurial failure

South Africa has an entrepreneurial ‘base’ of high impact entrepreneurs

The Infinity of wealth


• ••


Pre-existing values, foreign experiences and a home grown culture of entrepreneurship

Corporate careers are still more desirable in South African Society

The entrepreneurship-limited values that currently prevail in South Africa can and must be ‘unlearned.’


• ••


Foster a culture of entrepreneurship in homes, schools and universities. Include entrepreneurship in science-related fields of study.

Recessions provide business opportunities; policies must be formulated to encourage and support would-be entrepreneurs.

Create our own culture of entrepreneurship: celebrate role models, promote an effective venture capital and private equity community, providing structures for entrepreneurial education and skills-support
