The SA Startup Awards aims to bring together talented entrepreneurs, investors, and other thought leaders in the world of technology and to celebrate high caliber founders who not only drive their businesses with passion and energy, but also take responsibility for the focused execution of their ideas.
Sxuirrel won the award for Best Student Startup at the South African finals held on 24 October 2018, which means that they are now through to the regional round of the competition which will determine the category winners for the entire Southern African region. National winners from 15 African countries will be considered with the final regional winners moving on to the global leg of the competition.
14 Winners in 14 individual categories, as well as a People’s Favourite, will be announced at the Southern Africa Startup Awards Regional grand finale taking place on 22 November 2018 at Steyn City Equestrian Estate, Johannesburg.
The winners will be chosen by a panel of regional judges but an all-important public vote will play a role. “Voting is now open, and the Sxuirrel team is appealing to all South Africans to support us. We are proudly representing our country and the ingenuity and dedication of all young entrepreneurs,” says Michael-john Dippenaar, Sxuirrel’s Chief Executive.
