Babcock builds startup skills for tech entrepreneurs

As co-founder of Generation 90, an IT solutions company developing the TreeHUB social media platform, Lebogang Makofane joined the Babcock Entrepreneurship Development Programme to sharpen his business skills and expand his network.

 

Initially uncertain about his concept and his ability to present it, Lebogang found renewed confidence through mentorship and peer learning. The programme not only helped him believe in his vision, but also introduced practical business tools that improved how he plans, builds, and critiques his business model.

“What stood out most was the mentorship and the people I learned from — not just the experts, but the other entrepreneurs alongside me,” says Lebogang.

He gained clarity on when and how to use key planning documents like business model canvases and business plans, helping him structure his growth trajectory more effectively.
