Building a business is wild. Late nights. Awkward pitches. DIY logos. Serial tabbing. Caffeine for days. We get it - the first year is beautiful chaos.
So this August, we’re ditching the motivational quotes and giving you something better: real tools to help you grow.
To celebrate World Entrepreneurship Day (21 August), we’ve partnered with some epic local brands to bring you the Ultimate Entrepreneur Starter Pack — a serious boost for anyone who’s just getting started.
It’s not fluff. It’s fuel. Tools from people who’ve built businesses of their own and know exactly what this hustle takes.
Here’s what’s up for grabs:
We’ve put together a pack of goodies that covers the essentials: flights, data, gear, software, and strategy.
🔵 R10,000 Takealot voucher + ecosystem access – Takealot: SA’s leading online store
📦 R10,000 for marketing gear – Orms: Create more
🛫 Flights – LIFT: SA’s most flexible airline
📲 Free data for a year as well as unlimited texts & calls - Melon Mobile: Mzanzi’s first customizable network
💻 Brand & social strategy audit + session – Tomorrow Labs: Let’s design tomorrow
🗣️ 1-year Heavy Chef subscription + book – Heavy Chef: Learn. Do. Share.
💰 1 year of accounting software + set up session – stub: super simple accounting for entrepreneurs
These aren’t token freebies. They’re real tools from real businesses who’ve walked this path — and want to help you go further. If you (or someone you know) has launched a business in the last 12 months, this one’s for you.
Here’s how to enter:
- Like the giveaway post on @stubafrica (it’s pinned to the top of our feed)
- Follow all the tagged partners
- Tag an entrepreneur who’s started a business in the last year and tell us why they should win this starter pack (each tag = 1 entry)
- Share the post to your story and tag @stubafrica for a bonus entry
Winner announced on 21 August 2025 - World Entrepreneurship Day
Why it matters:
Entrepreneurship changes lives, and not just for the entrepreneur. It ripples out into families, communities, and the country. That’s why this campaign means a lot to us. Entrepreneurs are the dreamers, doers, makers, and builders of the world. They're who we build for - because when they succeed, all of us do.
Built by entrepreneurs, for entrepreneurs:
Every single brand in this giveaway was started by a South African entrepreneur. These brands know the late nights. Their first sales. The spreadsheets. The doubt. The tiny wins that kept them going.
This is a small step in paying it forward.
Let’s keep building:
Entrepreneurship isn’t easy. But it’s powerful. Whether you win this starter pack or not, we hope this campaign reminds you:
You are the real deal. And you’re exactly who we’re building for.
