Business Chat – School of Entrepreneurship

In this episode of Business Chat, I chat with Dr. Reabetswe Kgoroeadira who discusses her journey from entrepreneurship to education, emphasising her passion for empowering women through the Regenesys School of Entrepreneurship.

Dr Rea shares insights into the school’s unique approach, which combines practical skills with theoretical knowledge to create an end-to-end ecosystem for entrepreneurs, and highlights the importance of access to funding, opportunities, and networks, and outlines the school’s comprehensive curriculum designed to address common entrepreneurial challenges.

The conversation also touches on the launch of the Great African Hackathon, a bold initiative aimed at nurturing tech-savvy youth across Africa. Dr. Rea’s vision is to create a sustainable ecosystem that supports entrepreneurs in scaling their businesses and contributing to Africa’s economic growth.

• “Access is the biggest challenge for entrepreneurs. It’s not just about funding; it’s about opportunities and networks. Our school aims to provide an end-to-end ecosystem, ensuring entrepreneurs have the support they need to succeed, from training to post-funding support, creating a higher probability of success.”
• “Our curriculum addresses five key areas: working capital management, contracting, compliance, strategy, and human resources. These are the pain points I faced as an entrepreneur, and by providing practical training in these areas, we aim to equip entrepreneurs with the skills they need to thrive.”
