Haibo Business Incubator

The Programme

From Idea To A Business That Lasts

The Haibo Business Incubator combines practical courses, mentorship and a peer community in one programme. You work on your own business from the first lesson: testing the idea, writing the plan, registering, finding customers and getting ready for funding.

It is built for South African founders with an idea or an early-stage business, whether you are in Soweto, Sekhukhune or Stellenbosch.
