Kalon Venture Partners

Kalon Venture Partners invests in and builds a portfolio of high growth technology companies, with innovative business models, geared to existing and emerging institutions and their customers. Kalon Venture Partners invests growth capital in the form of equity to be used to assist established, but still high-risk ventures in expanding activity such as creating additional traction in South Africa, launching into Africa and then foreign markets, as well as creating new product / technology lines. Our overriding strategy is to provide growth capital and acquire a minority stake in high growth innovative digital technology companies. We assist these companies with hands on involvement, to help build the businesses into assets of value and exit the business to trade buyers or through an IPO (a buy to flip strategy). Kalon Venture Partners will invest most of its capital in support of African entrepreneurs who are looking for growth capital to scale their businesses, which are disrupting traditional industries, e.g. banking, insurance, retail, media and entertainment. We have a highly experienced team to conduct detailed due diligences of potential investments to help reduce the business risk. The outcome of the DD will be presented to our Investment Committee for a decision. These companies will most likely operate initially in South Africa with the intention to scale them to Africa and globally. We target potential returns of a minimum of 5X money (IRR > 30%) on each investment.

Propella

Propella is one of the first business hubs in South Africa to be fully geared for Business 4.0. Exciting new IT and advanced manufacturing businesses share the same building to encourage cooperation between innovators in both sectors. Support for the development of technologies for Smart Cities come through a partnership between Engeli Enterprise Development (EDD), a private sector business support company and Innovolve, the wholly owned commercialization company of Nelson Mandela University (NMU). Propella helps commercialize the research and development being conducted at the NMU, as well as other technology entrepreneurs who either approach Propella for support or who are identified by Propella. Prospective incubatees go through a rigorous selection process to qualify for access to the Propella and its support services. Once they are selected Propella facilitators assist with mentoring and the evaluation of business concepts. Our Vision To be the "Go To", High-Tech Incubator and Accelerator for innovators and ventures delivering Smart City Solutions and Industry 4.0 Technologies. Our mission To provide a significant entrepreneurial experience and presence in Nelson Mandela Bay where innovation and technology convergence is facilitated to create sustainable and profitable ventures, through exceptional management, leadership & infrastructure in specific sectors. Our goal To be the first choice for the commercialization of smart products and services in our targeted sectors. Values Innovation.Success.Fun 1. Pre-incubation support (Restricted to ICT) All successful businesses and innovations start with an idea. Propella helps to ignite the ideas to become actions through its pre-incubation support for innovators who have a concept with potential, but need guidance on the first steps to commercialisation. Propella doors are open to inventors or entrepreneurs who are in that all-important and delicate concept stage – the one where there is an idea but no plan. Propella's doors are open to inventors or entrepreneurs who are in that all-important and delicate concept stage – the one where there is an idea but no plan. - Desktop feasibility study of the proposed business idea - Market assessment, feasibility planning and business planning - Entrepreneurial assessment and feedback session - Counselling and pre-incubation business advice - Specific business start-up training to support the fledgling enterprise - Coaching to guide them through proof of concept and business model canvas Entrepreneurs will be ready for selection for the next phase if they have: - Completed the business model canvas 2. Incubation Services Propella measures its success by the number of companies which have been commercialized – in other words, they have left the building as sustainable businesses with both a product and a market. Of course, when pioneering new products, processes and businesses, not all incubatees make it to market. That failure is analyzed to ensure that the lessons learned contribute to the success of another new venture. By the way, we also celebrate failure, since it’s part of a successful journey. Look out for our FUN2FAIL events. Propella provides four types of support: - Technology and/or technology platform development - prototyping testing and preparation for scale - Business Support – Guidance to establish and run a business - Customer – Customer insights and access to markets within the growing Propella network - Entrepreneur - Working on growing entrepreneurial ability in order to grow the business. Business toolbox Engeli Enterprise Development, which manages Propella, has developed a range of entrepreneurial, business and technology tools for the various facets of the incubation/acceleration stages. These have been customized for Propella. Entrepreneurs accepted by Propella sign a development contract based on an assessment of the company using the diagnostic tools. The contract includes development milestones and commitments from the entrepreneur, as well as the anticipated date on which the enterprise will move into its own premises – making space for the next potentially disruptive new business. 3. Acceleration Once they have successfully proved they have a viable business concept during the incubation programme Propella is able to provide support to the owners and managers of companies ready to growth their business to the next level. The main offerings include: a. Funding Few financial institutions and venture capitalists in South Africa provide funding for new technology or early stage venture capital, as they are seen as high risk. Successful Propella incubatees who have established the potential to develop a successful and sustainable business are assisted in applying to various funders. Partnerships with other venture capital funds (Engeli Section 12J VCC and others) and financial institutions are among the options for start-up debt and equity funding. Some start-ups may also qualify for BBBEE enterprise development funding grants or loans. Propella also facilitates the creation of partnerships (like JV’s) with established companies. b. Extended tenure Space permitting, Propella may offer companies ready for commercialization the opportunity to continue making use of the Propella facilities and support structure.

Business Suites

We specialise in executive office facilities. Business Suites is your first class office space solution. We provide companies, entrepreneurs, staff, directors and even major global businesses with office space to suit their needs and their budgets. At Business Suites we strive to provide our clients with top class service in our world-class office facilities. Business suites started the first concept in Bloemfontein in 2012 as "PBS or Preller Business Suites". At this stage one of the founder's properties was standing open and an opportunity presented itself for a multi-tenanted, serviced office space. Owing to the high demand for affordable office space the second centre (2014) and third (2015) followed soon after. By this stage of development we had improved to a higher standard of excellence. Using this centre as our benchmark we designed a shop front reception within a high traffic area, utilising high end finishes and incorporating the latest technology and trends. We could thus enable our customers to close deals in a boardroom with all the relevant facilities close at hand and freely available. This model is a true reflection of class, elegance and exclusivity. Today known as Business Suites (SA) it is our goal is to build serviced office space in 5* centres, referred to as the Hotel of Offices. With 1000 new offices planned for 2017/2018 we aim to fill the demand and set the standard for the best office facilities in the world. Business Suites Features Perfect for freelancers, startups and SME's With our stunning receptions, your clients will be greeted with a fresh touch of class and our friendly reception staff will handle your clients with hospitality and ensure that they feel relaxed before you are ready to receive them. They will answer all your incoming calls and then direct them accordingly. If you are out of the office they will take a message and notify you as soon as you are back in office Our state of the art boardroom facilities give our clients the ability to close their business deals in style while enjoying a beverage from the beverage bar. 10 hours of boardroom use is included in the rent and R300 p/h for every hour thereafter.

Ideas Assembly

Ideas Assembly is focused on providing workspaces for a community of entrepreneurs, freelancers and small businesses. As self-starters ourselves, we enjoyed the freedom of being self-employed but missed the community of colleagues during the work day. The premises became our primary location of doing business.

This is where we conceptualised Ideas Assembly; a holistic view of co-working space and business services, provided by a passionate community of entrepreneurs, freelancers and small businesses with a place to call work. As an Ideas Assembly co-worker, you are provided with a clean-designed workspace shared among a passionate community of like-minded people.

Grounded Work

Grounded Work is a coworking space - a work environment that has infrastructure; internet, printers and desks to rent on a monthly or daily basis… but most importantly it has coworkers. Coworkers work independently, for themselves, or for the same organisation, it doesn’t really matter. What matters is the way they share their skills and experience, collaborate, and inspire each other by simply sharing a communal work space. In that way Grounded Work is MUCH more than just a shared office space or internet café. It’s the home of coworking energy goodness. Grounded Work was launched in 2015, after we saw an increased need for a café-like space that was more conducive to productive work and most importantly entrepreneurial growth and community. At Grounded Work you will find just that. By just spending time with like-minded individuals in a shared workspace, or by attending our regular meetups and events - a coworking membership with us will be the best investment you can make in your dreams.

The Corner Office

The Corner Office is a dynamic and flexible coworking space designed for you to run your growing or established business, with all the perks of being in a larger office. The inspiration for The Corner Office was born out of two main factors. The first is our personal experience of working from a home office and shared offices, and the challenges that come with it, as well as Jill’s experience as a training consultant and the variety of work environments she encountered over the years: - Home offices can be a challenge on the rest of the family who have to agree to “office” rules. - The feeling of never leaving the office - An isolated office can be lonely! - Being in an office environment can be refreshing and if you meet like-minded people in similar circumstances, the networking and inspiration opportunities grow. - Meeting venues can be expensive and a coffee shop sometimes isn't appropriate for confidential issues - Travel time to work is often an issue when your head office is several traffic jams or even a flight away The second factor was to realise we were by no means unique and there was indeed quite demand for a space like The Corner Office. - We can provide a variety of work solutions, from a private space, to a desk in an open-plan office, whether you want your own desk or just a desk now and then. - We can offer a meeting room for confidential meetings and more casual options for those smaller powwows. - In every scenario the environment is friendly, professional and has the amenities you would want in an office. This without the outlay in the cost of setting one up for yourself. Why “The Corner Office” We believe that you all deserve a Corner Office, all of us entrepreneurial spirits are champions and leaders in our own way! From our research with the local market we believe firmly that work needs to be close to your home – around the corner. We spend too much of our lives travelling and in this age of great internet connectivity, there is so much we can do with a good connection, great coffee and the odd bit of company from like -minded people who are working in the same way as we are.

Coding Bootcamp

Incus Data

At Incus Data, we believe that good programming is both an art and a skill. We believe that training programmers and software developers in new skills - such as Java, C, C++ and web development - requires a different approach to training users. User training involves training new users how to do a specific task. Training programmers, on the other hand, means training people to understand the methodologies, tools and thinking processes involved for a new language or technology, and how to apply these to real-world problems. We also understand that training adults is very different to training children. For example, did you know that a lecturer has to repeat something more for adults than a teacher would have to for children?. We teach you more than just a new programming language or technology. Our courses also teach you good coding practice and better ways to make your code cleaner and easier to maintain. In the words of respected coding guru Rick Osborne: "Always code as if the guy who ends up maintaining your code will be a violent psychopath who knows where you live." Why? Because coding matters.

Umuzi Academy offers free one-year full-time paid learnerships in coding, data, and design in Johannesburg. The program teaches a variety of skills including JavaScript, Node,js, Python, SQL, and UX/UI design. Youth unemployment is one of the biggest challenges facing South Africa. Since 2014, we’ve been building an alternative to higher education: a 12-month, paid training programme, that’s demand-driven, project based, Agile, and human-centred. Over 80% of the young people who enter our programme secure high-value jobs at top employers. Youth Unemployment is a massive problem There are a tremendous number of talented young people not reaching their full potential. In South Africa, millions are unemployed, and locked out of the economy, or under-employed in dead end jobs, vulnerable to automation.

Rhodes University

The innovations brought about by Information and Communication Technology are radically altering our society by changing the way our economy, educational systems, and social and cultural interactions work. This is particularly relevant to the kinds of activities that graduates encounter in their day-to-day personal and professional lives. As this technological innovation progresses, it will become increasingly important to have a knowledge and an understanding of the nature of information and communication technologies, and how they are changing. Anticipating these changes will enhance the choices you make in your personal and working life. Naturally, the more knowledge you have, the more you will be able to exploit the power of Information and Communication Technology. History Rhodes University acquired its first computer in 1966, one which was housed in the Department of Physics. Computer Science was first introduced as a major subject under the auspices of the Department of Applied Mathematics in 1970 by the late Professor Rolf Braae. In 1972 the first post graduate courses were given. A separate Computer Science Department was established in 1980, but has continued to work in close cooperation with the other Mathematical Sciences Departments, with the Department of Physics and Electronics, and more recently with the Department of Information Systems. The Department was originally housed in the upper two levels of a three storey building, Struben, for many years, incorporating several large computer laboratories, academic and post graduate studies, and lecture facilities. However, the department grew tremendously, making new accommodation essential. Over several years, a new home for Computer Science and Information Systems was sought, and finally a donation from Dr Robin Hamilton made a new building possible. The building was completed in September 2001 and was officially opened in April 2002 as the Hamilton Building.

Stellenbosch University

The purpose of the focus area in Data Engineering is to prepare students for the Fourth Industrial Revolution where the work environment has fundamentally changed and there is a flood of data that needs to be structured, modelled and analysed for data-driven organizations, to discover the underlying knowledge. Data Engineering contains all the tasks required to make data available for analysis, knowledge discovery and decision-making processes. The most important task of a data engineer is to develop and maintain an organization's data pipeline systems and implement algorithms to transform data into a usable format for analysis. The tasks of a data engineer include data collection, data storage, data synchronization, data transformation, data cleaning, data management, and data model development. This requires a considerable set of technical skills, including in-depth knowledge of database design and various programming languages. Data engineers are often responsible for building algorithms to provide easier access to structured and unstructured data, but it requires an understanding of the goals of an organization using large datasets. Data engineers need excellent communication skills to connect with different stakeholders inside and outside the organization to understand what Big Data business leaders want to earn and also to present their findings in a way the audience can easily understand. Throughout the degree, the focus area in Data Engineering is built on the foundations of Mathematics, Statistics, Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence. Students develop the engineering skills to create mathematical, physical, and statistical models of real systems, including data systems. After obtaining the qualification, Stellenbosch University's Data Engineers can integrate these areas of knowledge to critically analyse complex systems to come up with innovative solutions to problems. This degree is accredited by the Engineering Council of South Africa and hence, is recognized through the Washington Accord.
