Bizhub Africa therefore seeks to be part of  Problem Solving by providing young entrepreneurs with an opportunity to actualize their business ideas. We In particular seek to remove barriers affecting youth enterprises, such  barriers include lack of access to capital, lack of skills in business, lack of mentorship and the many requirements and high cost of business start-up.

With our early stage investments, we look to partner with standout entrepreneurs building innovative businesses. This includes passionate founders who have little more than a few presentation slides as well as those who already have a business that has a great growth opportunity.
