StartupBus Africa so far…

Day 3

After an over night stay in the Soutpansberg region; everyone was back on the bus and the coding, developing, hacking, post-it noting, window diagram drawing, pitching, brainstorming, and, and had resumed!

We are working on African time yet we were early for our next hub stop at Seed Engine. Seed Engine is a business accelerator and the buspreneurs (together with the team) were so very excited to have place to work with Wifi access because there had been some complications with both the Wifi and power on board. Complications are the ultimate representation of the extremity of the StartupBus initiative… But, because we have such wonderful sponsors, African Internet Accelerator has flown someone up to reconfigure the Wifi so that on the way down to Bloemfontein the buspreneurs can be online as and when they choose!

And it was another long night at Seed Engine with pitches and interviews and brainstorms… We had the pleasure of being joined by various investors as well as the main man at Seed Engine, CEO Marc Elias, and what Seed engine calls ‘Adult Supervision’ in the form of Jeff Miller who is the CEO of Grovest.
