What I need help with
My background as an entrepreneur
My current challenges
The business website is up and running. I have reached out to prospective clients. However, I am yet to close a deal at this point. I would really appreciate having a mentor to help me see it through and to teach me along the way. I need someone on my side who will believe in me and my vision. More specifically, I need help with business development and sales.
About my venture
Honeybee.mobi Started 2019
Honeybee.mobi is a start up agency that provides websites and mobile apps to entrepreneurs on a budget. My motivation for starting this business was to support the young visionary sitting on a business idea because he or she cannot afford a website or a mobile app. Software development is extremely expensive in South Africa. App development can cost more than R120 000 ($8 000), which financially excludes young entrepreneurs and small business owners. I want to make web development more accessible. In doing so, I have come up with a business model that allows me to be able to provide web development services at unbelievably low prices while still being profitable.
Countries of operation: South Africa

I am a young entrepreneur. My educational background is in Business Management, specialising in Strategy & Innovation. I would like to be a support figure to fellow young entrepreneurs who are on the journey of trying to figure out who they are, where they fit in, and where they want to go. As aspiring or established young entrepreneurs, I believe only we can best understand what in means to be in our position. Therefore, it is my intention to form a networking relationship with fellow entrepreneurs to figure out how we can help each other grow and evolve in our respective business ventures.
