Everything You Need to Know about the SA Startup Act Movement

South Africa has a strict regulatory framework designed to protect the interests of South Africans and local businesses. While many of the existing regulations focus on small to medium sized enterprises (SMEs), the country’s rapidly growing tech ecosystem highlights the need for startup-specific policy support.

One organisation leading the charge for a dedicated South African startup act is the SA Startup Act Movement. This collective represents the local entrepreneurship ecosystem, including investors, incubators, accelerators, and founders.

The SA Startup Act Movement seeks to establish a policy environment that facilitates the growth of startups and ensures they are not held back by outdated or unsuitable regulations.

In this article, we explore the work of the SA Startup Act Movement and its mission to foster a less constrained and more enabling environment for South African startups.
