ABOUT SME ADVICE

Our mission is to help the next generation of entrepreneurs build successful startups by giving them access to leading industry business experts in South Africa.

Who We Are:

THE BEST WAY TO GROW IS TO LEARN FROM SOMEONE WHO’S BEEN THERE. 

SME Advice (formerly known as Startwise), is a platform with a mission to connect aspiring South African entrepreneurs with experienced mentors. It is a mentorship platform that connects business mentors and entrepreneurs, so you can get the advice and guidance that will help you become the best version of your business.

The platform was created by Velly Bosega who has been working in the startup world for over 15 years. He saw how many great ideas were coming from people who didn't have access to the right mentors, or even know where to start looking for them. That's why he decided to create SME Advice: so that no one would have to go through this alone!

It's clear Velly has a passion for SME growth and embracing the diverse entrepreneurial spirit of South Africans. He knows the struggles of starting and growing a small business and the power of leveraging business networks.

We recruit experts from high-growth industries with over ten years of experience in their respective fields. The platform connects entrepreneurs with experts on demand to give them the relevant business advice needed to grow their businesses.

Get the experience of a lifetime. SME Advice experts will coach you and help you solve your toughest business challenges
