Hey NextGen Founders 🚀

Heads up - the NYDA just launched a partnership with YOMO to tackle one of the biggest barriers we face: data and connectivity.

Why this matters for us:
You can’t apply for work, do online interviews, run a digital biz, or take courses if data costs lock you out.

Through YOMO SIM cards, young people now get:
- Affordable data + zero-rated access to skills courses
- Gig work & entrepreneurship opportunities
- Mentorship + pathways into the digital economy

10,000 young people got SIMs at the Youth Day event today. If you’re building in SA, this is a real opportunity to lower the barrier for your team, your customers, and yourself.

If you know young founders who are struggling with data costs, send this their way.

🚀 Don't forget! Our NextGen Founders Community Session takes place tonight.

Topic: The Challenges and Risks of Starting a Business

Many people wait for the "perfect time" to start. The reality is that entrepreneurship involves uncertainty, judgement, and risk-taking. The goal isn't to eliminate all risk—it's to learn how to manage it.
