incuBeta New Client Launch: ADT

I’m pleased to announce the re-launch of ADT South Africa by incuBeta Consulting. We have totally redeveloped the site from scratch – have a look at the old site here via wayback machine.

Some great SEO work went into this site and we’ve also launched a Pay Per Click campaign for them. We have some more very high profile clients that are launching soon, and our Web Dev/SEO business is growing exponentially at the moment.

On that note : We’re hiring! If you have any SEO/SEM experience, please email careers@incubeta.com (all positions are located in Cape Town), or check the incuBeta careers page.

African Entrepreneurs, Globalization & Shift Happens

I got a scary email today from a student at Carnegie Melon University:

“Please direct me to where I can get info about how you managed to make it as an entrepreneur in Africa at a time when there aren’t so many.”

Firstly, there are thousands of entrepreneurs in Africa – I know more than I can count on all my fingers and toes! Also, organizations such as Endeavor.org are greatly assisting entrepreneurship in this part of the world. South Africa is growing at about 6% per annum – our infrastructure can’t keep up and we’re on our way to hosting the 2010 World Cup Soccer – a spectacular honor! To believe that there “aren’t so many” entrepreneurs in Africa is very myopic!

The following video is an all-time YouTube favourite of mine – I wish there was one that included South Africa – maybe I’ll put one together sometime – but regardless, Globalization if upon us, so enjoy!
