Launch Namibia

Launch Namibia Launch Namibia is a motivational business platform that strives towards creating an entrepreneurial ecosystem in Namibia.

Launch​ •​ ​/lɔːn(t)ʃ/
— To start or set in motion (an activity or enterprise). Launch Namibia is an enterprise, founded in 2018, that focuses on bridging the gap between start-ups, large corporations and government agencies in order to help develop the growth of these start-ups — a process well defined by the Launch Namibia motto: creating an entrepreneurial ecosystem. Social entrepreneur Tom Edi

son Shilongo started Launch Namibia to empower startup entrepreneurs like himself, using digital platforms. Launch Namibia also holds space for two additional components, namely Launch Magazine & Launch Media Agency.

2019 saw the launch of many innovative projects aimed at empowering young entrepreneurs & students alike, including:

1. The first ever series of Pitch Nights, which allowed entrepreneurs to pitch their idea to a panel of judges, with the best pitch of the night walking away with a business startup hamper valued at over N$5000;

2. The Launch Namibia Internship Programme, a three month long internship which accommodated two interns who were responsible for content creation & curation;

3. The first Launch Start-up Awards (LSA), an event aimed at recognising Namibia’s most innovative & ambitious startups.

2020 continued with the tradition, with the Pitch Nights going virtual. Despite it being such a tumultuous year, Launch Namibia remained committed to playing its part in fostering the entrepreneurial ecosystem. | 🚀

Sometimes we wait for the right time, the right people, or the perfect moment to begin, but the truth is, life doesn’t always offer us a perfect setup. Opportunities rarely just fall into our laps. We have to be bold enough to start where we are, with what we have, and create something meaningful.

The people who move forward are the ones who notice what’s missing, who take chances, and who act without waiting for someone else’s approval.

So if you’ve been holding back, take this as your sign, don’t wait any longer. You’ve got something powerful to offer the world. Start now, even if it’s small. The perfect moment is the one you create for yourself.

Your customers are your greatest source of insight, are you listening?

Building a successful business isn’t just about offering a great product or service; it’s about continuously evolving to meet the needs of those you serve. By gathering feedback through surveys, follow-ups, and dedicated channels, you gain valuable insights that can shape your next steps.

Review feedback regularly to spot trends, address concerns, and refine your offerings. Adaptation is key! When you listen and take action, you build stronger relationships and a business that grows with its customers.

Prioritise feedback, embrace change, and watch your business thrive.

Networking is about creating genuine connections that open doors to new opportunities and growth. Rather than focusing on handing out business cards, aim to build authentic relationships based on trust, value, and mutual benefit. When you approach networking with the mindset of fostering meaningful interactions, you're more likely to form lasting bonds that can lead to exciting professional opportunities.

One of the best ways to ensure your connections last is to follow up after meeting someone. A thoughtful, personalised message shows that you value the connection and helps solidify the relationship. A simple "It was great to meet you!" can make a big impact and ensure you're remembered.

Social media also plays a key role in modern networking. Engage with your connections by sharing insightful content, offering valuable information, and keeping the conversation going. This shows your commitment to supporting your network and can help strengthen relationships over time. Networking isn't just about expanding your circle but about nurturing those connections and seeing where they can take you and your career.

So, here's your challenge: are you ready to start building meaningful connections going forward?

Starting a business doesn’t have to mean securing large funding upfront. In fact, many of the most successful start-ups begin with small, strategic steps.

By focusing on starting lean, prioritising smart investments, and generating revenue early on, you build a solid foundation for sustainable growth. Reinvesting profits back into the business helps create momentum and drives long-term success.

The key is not how much you start with, but how wisely you use your resources and adapt along the way. Every successful venture begins with a clear vision, patience, and a commitment to growth—no matter the initial budget.
