In addition to supporting more general goals like financial literacy and community impact, the FirstPreneur Entrepreneurship Development Programme seeks to boost employment, financial growth, and startup assistance. Its goal is to modify the entrepreneurial landscape permanently by working together to foster sustainability and creativity.

First National Bank Botswana and TheNeoHub have partnered to introduce The FirstPreneur, a comprehensive two-year programme designed to encourage, nurture, and accelerate entrepreneurs in creating sustainable enterprises, in acknowledgment of the transformational potential of teamwork. With a focus on women and youth empowerment, this strategic alliance seeks to harness the assets of both organisations to create a synergistic force that accelerates the growth of entrepreneurs.

The FirstPreneur community has a shared vision that goes beyond short-term objectives to include financial expansion, job development, and startup assistance. It seeks to support more general goals including financial literacy, community impact, and the development of a strong financial ecosystem for small, medium, and micro enterprises (SMMEs). Through collaboration, the programme aims to make a long-lasting difference in the entrepreneurial environment by promoting an innovative and sustainable culture.

This program is designed for entrepreneurs with a resilient mindset, offering support for business growth, pivoting, and scaling. It includes global trade, banking, product development, growth hacking, marketing, and governance. The program includes a dedicated relationship manager from FNB, tailored financial insights, and strong governance structures.
