Mzansi Co-Founders Program

The Mzansi Co-Founders Program is a free, equity-only 12-week bootcamp that matches passionate South Africans to build teams, develop MVPs, and launch digital products on Mzansi App Store – keeping innovation and value in SA hands.

No salaries – pure equity partnerships (20-50%) for committed co-founders. Our 2026 goals:

Match 100+ co-founders, launch 200+ new apps, and create 10+ fundable teams across 15 impact sectors. Who We're Matching

Type 1 – The Visionary

You have an app/SaaS idea (or MVP) solving a real SA problem. Need a technical or business co-founder. Commit to 20-50% equity and launch on Mzansi in 12 weeks.

Type 2 – The Domain Expert

Deep knowledge in a sector (healthcare, finance, education, farming, etc.) but no idea yet – we'll match you with a visionary and provide validated problems. No coding required – just real SA insight.

Type 3 – The Influencer (New!)

You have a sizeable social following (5,000+ on any platform) and want to co-found an app. Bring your audience; we'll match you with tech/business partners (with or without your own idea) to build and grow together.
