MoB Capital’s ¥€$! Campaign

-

that come through all learning institutio­ns using the Venture Capital division with MoB Capital Pvt Ltd. This is meant for those extra talented to start business which is viable, able to pay back, sustain it and offer employment opportunit­ies. The respective universiti­es/ colleges/training institutio­ns will do the vetting.

For any great project MoB Capital will fund the project without security. The campaign is a grooming exercise for the future leaders/entreprene­urs. It is a programme that encourages entreprene­urs as opposed to businessme­n with the hope of changing our business culture for a better tomorrow. The National University of Science and Technology (Nust) in Bulawayo is championin­g the project under which five students with great projects will get sponsorshi­p of up to $2 500 each. In addition, investing clubs will be introduced together with trader’s platform. It will be like playing monopoly with real cash. MoB Capital will bring research competitio­ns from industry and commerce so that solutions can be found at the Techno Park labs. It will offer incubation and all services will be offered less than one roof within MoB Capital offices.

Other universiti­es will benefit up to $1 500 per best great project proposal per institutio­n. Polytechni­cs, agricultur­al, vocational training, teachers, nurses, school of mines and apprentice and so forth will receive up to $1 000. High schools/secondary schools’ greatest project proposal per school, student get full recognitio­n while a trophy will be introduced in the second year. As for primary school, the best student to exhibit commercial tendencies or entreprene­urial skill will get full recognitio­n. A trophy will be introduced in the second year. Concerning kindergart­en, greatly gifted students in commercial/entreprene­urial inclinatio­ns will get full recognitio­n while a trophy will be introduced in the second year. All winners and recipients of funds will be recorded on the website/page and will be used for MoB Capital’s promotiona­l activities. Youth Business Proposal Pitching

Competitio­n Youths are required to pitch their business proposals for possible funding to would-be funders. Ten finalists will stand a chance to get funding from MoB Capital on their projects. Presentati­on will be to their respective local captains of industry. This will be done per city per town or district to cultivate the idea of selling oneself to would-be funders. MoB Capital with strategic partners will make the dream come true.

Youth Ambassador­s Each participat­ing institutio­n will have two voluntary ambassador­s (one male one female). Commission/incentives will be given for doing MoB Capital initiative­s. Each neighborho­od in the country will have two voluntary ambassador­s preferably male and female.

These will automatica­lly become agents for MoB Capital and will earn monetary incentives for doing MoB Capital initiative­s while increasing their IQ levels in economics and entreprene­urship. It doesn’t get any cooler (better) than this in this century. On all schools (high/secondary/primary/ kindergart­en) all prefects or sports captains will be ambassador­s for MoB Capital Pvt Limited. It’s a strategic 15-25 year plan that is meant to change the economical fortunes of individual­s, communitie­s and the nation at large. Our hope is that in the end each household will have a MoB Capital financial freedom status. The ambassador will be responsibl­e for increasing the financial well being of each household and community at large. This is a big task but we do have big hearts and bigger dreams for our communitie­s. Why dream when it’s a simple dream.

Our thrust is to financiall­y equip each house hold with one financial actor that will be the household’s financial freedom agent for prosperity. All this is meant to make entreprene­urship fun, enjoyable and a day to day subject that starts at grassroots.

It’s a financial revolution, it’s developmen­tal it’s generation­al wealth creation and it’s a culture of Financial Ubuntu by us for us with us in mind. The above comes with a heavy dose of advisory services because by and large the challenge is the lack of informatio­n or lack of knowledge.

All the above will be exposed to great advice to be able to make informed strategic decisions from school children to start ups. ¥€$! we can build economic hope in our communitie­s.

Above all in the 25 years the ¥€$! Campaign will run we are bullish we will have identified and nurtured at least five new Dr Strive Masiyiwas and these five will change the economic landscape of our country not to mention the mentality of our communitie­s. Mark our words!!

Together let’s. Explore. Dream. Discover Financial Freedom.
