The third season of the YouTube series of Anzisha, The Journey, will focus on 30 very young entrepreneurs across Africa.
The documentary series will provide an uncensored glimpse into the grit of the small business owners, letting the viewers know 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 totalling $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.
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.
Their ventures span across numerous sectors, from agriculture and food processing to technology, logistics, and personal care, clearly reflecting innovation across the continent.
The series showcases them building sustainable ecosystems that extend beyond financial returns and redefining leadership through inclusive and purpose-driven businesses.
The Managing Director of Anzisha, Didi Onwu, said, “The Journey season 3 is more than just a series; it’s a window into the future of African enterprise.
