The satisfaction of helping people grow

Zanele Gallacher is the regional manager of the Black Umbrellas Pretoria Incubator. The incubator is in its tenth year and has built a reputation for the exceptional support it offers in growing small and startup businesses.

Zanele says that a Black Umbrellas incubator is an extremely rewarding place to work. “I don’t believe that anyone who works in this space does it for a paycheque. We do it because we are passionate and it’s satisfying. I love to see things grow. There’s great satisfaction in seeing our entrepreneurs reach graduation. It isn’t easy, but they’ve overcome challenges and conquered their fears and getting to the end of that is extremely satisfying.”
