Grindstone has joined forces with the SA SME Fund, Deloitte, Thinkroom, Knife Capital, Webber Wentzel and Google for Startups. The programme is aimed at entrepreneurs who are ready to take their businesses to the next level.
In addition to Knife Capital’s Funding Readiness Course: Find-Make-Grow-Realise, there will be 6 x 1-day workshops over the year…
Through Grindstone, Knife Capital forms long-term partnerships with scale-up entrepreneurs for a shared upside. Grindstone would not be possible if it wasn’t for our Programme partners who generously contribute their knowledge, services, time and funding.
We understand what it takes to start and grow a business to the point of real scaling. For this you need resilience, loads of patience, a good sense of humour and real grit. Enabling growth is what we do. Will it always be easy? That we can’t promise. Will it be worth it? Oh, so very much.
