Rival Pioneers hosts entrepreneur event
Gauteng based entrepreneur support initiative
Rival Pioneers
is hosting a workshop to assist start-up entrepreneurs navigate
the maze of bootstrapping their small business.
While some people may be fortunate enough to have the savvy to
raise funding from banks, venture capitalists and angel
investors most start-up entrepreneurs are going to have to do it
the hard-way: Bootstrapping.
This involves you takin the ultimate leap of faith including
raiding savings, credit cards, access bonds etc just to get your
business off the ground.
It involves ducking and diving and cutting back on all of your
vices in the slim hope that you will get the business off the
ground. In a nutshell – it is one of the most terrifying and
exhilarating experiences any entrepreneur will go through.
With that in mind
Rival Pioneers is putting together an industry event
entitled “The Bitch of Bootstrapping”. We will be bringing in a
couple of speakers from different backgrounds to talk about
their experiences in bootstrapping their businesses and some of
the lessons they have learnt.
Details of the event are below:
When: 10 March 2010
Where: Old Mutual auditorium. Sandton offices
Time: 6 for 6:30pm. Presentations will run for about 1
hour and then there will be some time to network afterwards.
Cost: R125 per person (Price includes a drink before and after

Adriaan Pienaars
Rockstar Foundation provides full academic bursaries to

A big part of the idea behind
Rival Pioneers
is to also provide a platform for people to network and exchange
ideas so don’t run off after the presentations. Make an effort
to meet new people, exchange business cards, talk about your
businesses and aspirations.
Look forward to seeing lots of you there!
