Our Meta-Model

Entrepreneur Selection

We identify entrepreneurs who possess “blue heart” characteristics and who have a deep desire to grow.

Business-model Evolution

We evaluate the entrepreneur’s business model to assess if it’s “broken” or not, and help to ensure it is robust enough to scale and to build profitability.

Market Access

We provide our entrepreneurs with access to markets by way of direct and indirect channels.

Scale

We work with entrepreneurs to scale their businesses and, once scaling commences, we prepare them for possible financing if it is required.

Finance

If finance is required and the business is ready for it, we introduce the entrepreneur to appropriate finance for the business to scale effectively.

Who Is Raizcorp?

Founded in 2000 Raizcorp is, according to The Economist, the only genuine incubator in Africa.  However, the company prefers to think of itself as a Prosperator™ rather than an incubator. Drawing on the best practices of business support and development models worldwide, Raizcorp has created its own unique, world-renowned model for the support and development of entrepreneurs. It offers a platform that fosters learning and guidance, and which can be translated into practical business success.

FAQs

Partner Elite prefers to take a minority equity stake in our partners’ businesses which can be up to 50%. As an entrepreneurial business ourselves, we understand your need for control of the business you have conceived and nurtured.

Becoming our partner does not mean that we take over the day-to-day running of your business. We do not control your bank account nor do we have any operational control over your business. Our role is one of support and encouragement, of networking and advice, of systemisation and value creation.

Our partner offering has been in existence since 2000. The first business that partnered with us back then is still one of our partners today.

We enter into lasting relationships with our partner companies that are based on long-term sustainability and profitability. Our basic philosophy is that if our partners are successful then we are successful. We deem success to be the high growth of your business, and the consequential and substantial value increase of your equity. As an example, a start-up with no revenue that joined us in 2014 was valued at R50 million in 2017. Simply put, we support the growth of multimillionaires.

Our high-touch Prosperator™ model has been presented at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, to the World Bank, at the Oxford University Saïd Business School, and is even a case study at the Wits Business School.

No, Partner Elite is not a fund and does not operate like a fund. All capital is direct funding from Partner Elite’s itself.
