Being awarded the 23rd spot on the list for changing the rules of business incubation, further cements Raizcorp's approach of accelerating the success of businesses on its programmes. The brand's success is testament to the fact that their high-touch ProsperationTM programmes work well for local entrepreneurs.
Says Allon Raiz, CEO of Raizcorp; "A one-size-fits-all approach to small business development across Africa does not work, therefore our programmes are tailored to provide business support for enthusiastic, growth-hungry entrepreneurs, by offering them a platform that fosters learning and guidance, which can then be translated into practical business success."
Operating off what they refer to as a Prosperator™, rather than an incubator model, that draws from the best global practices and focuses more on the entrepreneur than the business, to date, 1 500 businesses have graduated from Raizcorp's programmes.
Concludes Raiz; "Being recognised by Fast Company is a great honour. It demonstrates the impact we have had on small business development in South Africa - a sector critical to the further development of this country and one I am passionate about."
