This fund (SA SME Fund) worth R1.2 billion wants to help black businesses grow

This is like Dragons’ Den on steroids!
Bruce Whitfield, The Money Show
The SA SME Fund on Tuesday launched the CEO Circle, an initiative aimed at accelerating the growth of high potential black businesses within the Fund’s shareholders’ supply chains.
The Fund aims to invest in and help scale 5 to ten black businesses with market caps of more than R500 million.
It also wants to invest in and help grow more than 200 black small and medium enterprises (SMEs), and five world-class black entrepreneurs.
These are bold goals; there are very few new companies being built in South Africa. The JSE has seen more de-listings than listings in the past 10 years. We want to reverse this trend. Businesses are a key engine for economic growth, and as big business, we can use our collective resources to help achieve this goal.
Adrian Gore, Chairperson - SA SME Fund
The SA SME FUND has pledged more than R700 million to partner funds that will invest in small businesses and start-ups.
The fund has investable capital of R1.2 billion.
