Startup Funding
It has not always been easy for start apps. Especially pitching it to potential investers. For months I have been trying to work with ALA American library association and The International Federation of Library Associations and Institutions (IFLA). It was all good at first, they loved my idea and we were to start on it,but months later, they tell me they had the same idea before I brought it up. I built a counting system for libraries. What everyone has is a counting sytem to give info to the institution, but mine was to give info to the public which also included an app. We try to push our little ideas to change just a little but the gain is huge. Lets motivate each other to keep the push every day. I know that one day it will be neccesary. But maybe I will not have the chance to gain from it. lets not not get scared of pitching out our work to investors one day it will open up our doors.Athough I will work on it with them or without..

South Africa requires a bold vision and a call to action for everyone to help to realize that vision through their own unique approaches, leveraging education, innovation, entrepreneurship and creativity.
As growing connectivity to the Internet has democratized content creation for many South Africans, it is only natural that South Africa will see a rise in digital entrepreneurship amongst creative industries.
To support content creators, digital innovators and entrepreneurs, South Africa must take an inclusive approach that levels the playing field for every South African to become active participants in the new economy. It must also innovate education at all levels to provide every South African with the digital and creative skills necessary to thrive in this environment. It must connect creators with effective business and communications skills, mentorship, and a collaborative and supportive community; and, finally to stand out in a fiercely competitive digital marketplace, it must boldly tell stories of South African creators, build demand for South African content globally, and innovate funding programs for digital content creators.
This culture of inclusion in innovation, collaboration for mutual success, risk-taking and thinking outside the box for success, will make South Africa a truly creative and entrepreneurial nation in the new economy.

My top three key questions entrepreneurs should ask themselves while seeking funding?
1. Who is your target audience? Identify a niche and research it thoroughly before committing.
2. Before taking out loans, consider if you know anyone who can voluntarily help your company at an early stage.
3. Is your brand fully protected? Secure intellectual property and trademark ownership before investing too deeply.
