Anzisha announces the release of season 3 of its YouTube series, The Journey, a documentary series that provides an uncensored glimpse into the grit of 30 very young entrepreneurs across Africa. This season’s focus is on the hurdles, strategic pivots, and moments of leadership that define their journeys. With over 1.13 million YouTube views last season, The Journey S3 promises to be even more impactful. This season culminates in a high-stakes pitch competition where four prizes totaling $40,000 will be awarded to the most promising entrepreneurs. This intense pitch week in Johannesburg, South Africa, is where young founders refine their ideas, validate the work they’ve done over the last two years, and battle for prizes that can transform their ventures.
The Journey’s season 3 offers a rich tapestry of experiences from a broad group of young African entrepreneurs. Viewers will see the reality of their experiences, the balance of vision and execution, innovation and sustainability, and personal ambition driven by a desire to address gaps within their communities. This season deepens understanding of the African entrepreneurial ecosystem by providing an honest look at the complexity of developing businesses in emerging markets.
Uncertainty, sustainability, and leadership
Viewers will see entrepreneurs navigate uncertainty when faced with unpredictability. These young leaders, aged 15 to 22, come from across Africa, including Zimbabwe, Nigeria, Madagascar, Benin, Uganda, Zambia, Ghana, Egypt, DR Congo, and Senegal.
