Its previous participants have raised over USD 61M collectively, providing employment to more than 800 employees worldwide.

“We have consistently managed to find high quality startups in Cape Town. We expect that this ongoing trend will continue and are extremely happy to return and find the next potential South Africa and Global winner. ” says Claudia Makadristo, Regional Manager for Africa at Seedstars World.

Since it’s launch , South African startups have had significant success with Giraffe winning the global prize in 2015. In 2016, wildcard winner IDWork, a platform for utilising and reviewing tradesmen for construction needs represented South Africa at the SSW Regional Summit in Rwanda and the Global Summit in Switzerland. With hopes of repeating this success for South African startups in the upcoming summit.
