Startupbootcamp (SBC) AfriTech has announced eleven best tech startups to join its latest cohort in the globally renowned, multi-corporate backed accelerator programme.  

Now in its third year, SBC AfriTech will kick off on 12 August in Cape Town over a three-month period which will culminate in a Demo Day on 7 November when they will pitch to a network of investors, corporate partners and industry leaders.

The 11 were selected from twenty-two startup teams shortlisted from the 1,900 applications accumulated.

According to Zachariah George, SBC AfriTech Chief Investment Officer and Co-Founder: “Every entrepreneur who told their story at the pitching sessions is trying to build a legacy that he or she might not even live to see.  It is our responsibility as mentors to help empower them to live that vision. We urge founders of disruptive startups all across the world to apply for opportunities like this to build a bigger, better and bolder future for the African continent.”

The 11 startups include: 

· Databotics (South Africa) incorporates Robotics Process Automation, giving customers a streamlined solution geared towards generating value for their client base with the least amount of operational effort.

· Rentoza (South Africa) leverages the sharing economy to enable businesses and individuals to list their lazy assets whilst giving customers access to these via a low-cost rental model backed by insurance underwritten by Old Mutual Insure.
