Today Is Our Birthday!

 

 

On the 9th of October, 2015 at exactly 8.00pm, our television series went on air for the first time after several weeks of production and we have not looked back since then!

Under 40 CEOs is 5 and we reckon that its evolution into a Pan-African community of young business leaders committed to building Africa into a continent of 1st world nations by empowering young emerging and aspiring business people should be celebrated.

In August we commenced our celebration in August by giving away 555 free memberships and continued in September with giving away 50,500 copies of our book and this month we will be turning it up a notch as we give out $1,300 seed-funding to 5 businesses in October.

This October, we will commence the pitch for our 5th anniversary JumpStart Fund. 5 businesses founded and run by Africans will receive a grant of $1,300 for their business.

The businesses will not just receive the funds but also work with seasoned business leaders within our community who will mentor them on their journey to building sustainable businesses.

The winning businesses will also leverage Under 40 CEOs media platforms to expose the businesses and will be supported to raise further capital as necessary for business growth.
