Pranary Business School Equips Entrepreneurs With the Skills and Knowledge for Attracting Investors
Pranary Business School, based in Cape Town, South Africa, has helped entrepreneurs and startups raise over $1.5 million in investment and has engaged with 50,000 entrepreneurs from 50 different countries since its launch in 2020 through online mentoring.
The business school assists entrepreneurs in starting new businesses as well as existing businesses in finding investors and raising funds.
Pranary has been remote since its inception, using online learning to deliver its courses and enabling its entrepreneurs to secure investments without ever meeting the investors in person — all thanks to the use of remote tools and technology.
“We’ve been distant from the start. We use technology to deliver programs online, and our team serves as a remote tool. We have assisted entrepreneurs in obtaining funding without having to meet with the investors. We haven’t all met as a group. “With technology, it’s as if we’re all in one place,” Sandras Phiri, CEO and Founder of Pranary, told Zintle Nkohla of IT News Africa during an online interview.
According to the company, what distinguishes them from other businesses is that they do not rely heavily on theory and instead provide practical solutions to entrepreneurs.
Phiri says the company’s next event will teach startup entrepreneurs how to get funded by investors.
“People should expect to learn how to get funded from our investor, Enygma Ventures managing partner Sarah Dusek.” Sarah is an inspiration because she and her husband started a business from the ground up and sold it for more than $100 million. “Any entrepreneur who is serious about raising funds should not miss this event,” he says.
Pranary has also collaborated with well-known South African companies such as Shoprite, mLab, Sanlam, and PayFast.
