TIA and mLab Southern Africa entered into a partnership that would empower local mobile application start-ups or innovators to pivot their technologies with the purpose of providing a potential pipeline for ICT innovations that may hold further relevance to the South African digital economy. The Project was divided into two seasons with the aim of allowing two groups of 7 start-ups to participate in the programme and leverage the learnings to improve each consecutive season. During the course of the programme over 200 potential application proposals where reviewed which resulted in 67 startups receiving support and training through either the season 1 bootcamps or season 2 pre-accelerator programme. These preparation programmes resulted in the development and support of 14 mobile apps or solutions and investment of R4,400,000.00 in development grants. The initiative resulted in an increase in users reached, IP registrations, revenues generated, full-time and part-time job creation, media appearances and business pivots amongst other positive outcomes. Notable ventures that have gone on to raise Series A funding or make significant traction in their respective sectors include; Droppa, Lightbulb Education, Jonga and Swift Livestock amongst others.
