Join our MatiePreneur Community for 2026.

The MatiePreneurs Community is the official Student Entrepreneurship Community of Practice at Stellenbosch University, anchored within LaunchLab’s Economic Activation Office and committed to building a vibrant, action-driven entrepreneurial culture across campus.

Upcoming This Term

This term is packed with exciting opportunities for students looking to explore and grow their entrepreneurial journey.

• We will kick off with our Ignite Incubation Programme, designed to support early-stage ideas and help you move them forward.
• Our Fail Night Community Event will create a space for honest conversations and shared lessons from real experiences.
• Registrations for the EDHE Intervarsity and ABSA Innovation Challenge will be opening soon, followed by our internal round later this term.
• Looking ahead, we will also be hosting two additional entrepreneurship bootcamps during the July recess, offering practical exposure, guidance and the chance to connect with like-minded studentpreneurs.

Be sure to join our social media pages to stay updated on when registrations open and how to get involved.
