About Us
For most hopeful founders, the road from bright idea to profitable company feels like a maze of jargon, red tape, and expensive mistakes. We built jobopen.uno to light the path.
Born in Cape Town’s vibrant start‑up scene in 2018, we began as a small cohort‑based workshop helping township side‑hustles move online. Word spread quickly: participants were seeing revenue gains in months, not years. Today our remote‑first platform serves entrepreneurs in every province—yet we still keep classes small enough for one‑on‑one feedback.
Our faculty blends seasoned CEOs from Johannesburg’s tech corridors with township micro‑enterprise mentors who know how to stretch a rand. Together they teach you not just theory, but the street‑smart tactics that succeed in South Africa’s unique regulatory, cultural, and infrastructure landscape.
We reinvest 12 % of gross revenue into community scholarships, because when local founders thrive, local jobs multiply. It’s how we honour our mission: “Build businesses that build South Africa.”
Whether you’re bootstrapping an e‑commerce brand from your back room or raising seed capital for a fintech app, we give you the frameworks, tools, and peer network to move faster with fewer costly detours.

The Opportunity Window for South African SMEs
While global investors once fixated on BRICS giants, current data shows that South Africa’s formal small‑business sector contributes over 40 % of GDP and 60 % of new jobs, yet still faces a finance gap exceeding R350 billion annually. By equipping founders with lender‑ready financials and digital traction metrics, jobopen.uno positions graduates to tap this under‑served funding pool before the window narrows to larger incumbents.
Moreover, South Africa’s e‑commerce penetration—8 % and climbing—signals a greenfield for first‑movers in specialised niches such as township logistics, agritech, and circular‑economy ventures. Two years from now, the competitive moat will be deeper; today it’s a shallow stream ready to cross.
