You probably know that we love to trawl the internet, but not all of our time is spent finding awesome content for you lovely readers to enjoy.

We also love to look after our interests from time to time, which is why we keep an eye on what’s happening over at Bizlink for a spot of networking and marketing. During one of our regular jaunts we spotted something that ya’ll need to know about, a must for entrepreneurs and our business-minded readers out there.

We’re talking about Bizlink Crunch Time Jo’burg, a business and networking expo that looks like a real good’un. The event is tailored for SME’s, startups, entrepreneurs, established businesses and sales people.

Crunch Time provides the perfect chance for businesses to meet with new paying clients – new clients who can help your businesses to grow, survive and prosper.

Then there’s the incredibly exciting Fund Me initiative, a place where you can pitch your business idea, concept or existing business. Fund Me is about raising finance to take your business to the next level.

A selection of 12 businesses will compete for the opportunity to pitch live onstage at Bizlink Crunch Time to an audience of VC funders as well as public and private investors. These and all other Fund Me applications will be filmed, with your application uploaded to the Fund Me portal on Crunch Time. Businesses and individuals will be able to book a recording slot at the expo or at our recording studio.

The event takes place on Wednesday March 16 and Thursday March 17 at the Fourways Market, the corner of William Nicol and Monte Casino Boulevard.

This really does seem like a function not to be missed so if you haven’t signed up yet check it Bizlink and sign up HERE.
