On a mission to grow and expand its reach Seedstars branding as Seedspace is moving toward launching its entrepreneurship genre in Africa, it helps to empower startups and has so far sixteen designated sites it hopes to establish its presence in. These sites are underway and are yet to become functional centers.
Nathan Heller the brains of seedspace hopes Seedspace can spread to Abijan (cote d’voire), Cairo in Egypt and even Casablanca in Morroco. Other hopeful centers are to be based in Beirut, Lima, Abu Dhabi, Hong Kong and other worldwide environments. Dates for the launch in these areas are yet to be disclosed to the public he says. Other areas globally may not partically be fully run by Seedspace but a presence through its partners is afforded, such is the case in Addis Ababa and Durban.
Partnership is a key mode of spreading the Seedstar influence and the company’s Boss says those who are willing to team up with Seedstar are most welcome provided that adequate infrastructure is available, such as a minimum of a thousand square metres of building space. Partnerships will be a boost to both parties; the company and the partners. Partners will have access to special Seedstar features like the growth hacking panel. They will additionally easily obtain coaching opportunities, online forum access and exposure to potential investors.
To establish an alliance with Seedstar the credentials of a prospective partner are assessed and partnership status is granted if the company is satisfied, eligibility for funding by Seedstar is also possible when ties are well established.
