The Billionaire Mentor Angel Investor Program is open to individuals aged 18–35 who are citizens or residents of SADC countries (Angola, Botswana, Comoros, DRC, Eswatini, Lesotho, Madagascar, Malawi, Mauritius, Mozambique, Namibia, Seychelles, South Africa, Tanzania, Zambia, Zimbabwe). Applicants must submit a pitch deck (PDF, max 15 slides) for a business idea or early-stage business requesting no more than R1 million in funding. Submissions exceeding R1 million will be automatically disqualified. All applications must be submitted via the official website by June 30, 2025, and are subject to a non-refundable R1,000 application fee.
A R1,000 non-refundable application fee is required to complete your submission. Payment instructions will be sent via email upon form submission. Failure to complete payment within 48 hours of receiving instructions may result in disqualification. All submissions must include a completed online form and a pitch deck adhering to the provided guidelines. Billionaire Mentor is not responsible for incomplete, late, or incorrectly formatted submissions.
The program consists of three stages: (1) pitch deck submission, (2) virtual interview, and (3) live pitch in Sandton City, Johannesburg. Billionaire Mentor reserves the right to disqualify any applicant for submitting false information, exceeding the R1 million funding request, or failing to comply with program rules. Decisions regarding shortlisting and funding are final and at the discretion of the evaluation panel and investors.
Billionaire Mentor is not liable for any loss, damage, or costs arising from participation in the program. Applicants are responsible for protecting their intellectual property before submission. By submitting a pitch deck, you grant Billionaire Mentor a non-exclusive, royalty-free license to review and share your materials with evaluators and investors for program purposes only. Your materials will not be shared publicly without your consent.
Billionaire Mentor reserves the right to modify, suspend, or terminate the program at any time without prior notice. In the event of termination, application fees will not be refunded. Any changes to the Terms of Service will be updated on this page, and continued participation constitutes acceptance of the revised terms.
