Photo Shooting for YEP the Mag

P.J. was very kind and said that he would help lend me some of his photographic genius in order to look my best for the YEP3 promotional material. We called this series "glam shot's by Deb". I hope you like them as much as we do...

Young Entrepreneurs Program 2012

November last year I was shortlisted out of about 2000 applicants, to present for the chance of being chosen to go on a 6 week internship to the U.S. The trip would include the following:

• An all expenses paid trip to Lake Tahoe, California.
• A 4 week internship at a top company, one similar to my business
• And 2 entrepreneurship courses through Sierra Nevada Collage, worth 6 credits

So having being shortlisted in November, I had the chance to pitch my new business idea to a panel of judges from IBA-global (the sponsors). Although it was a difficult pitch and I was unsure of the impact it had, I was selected as one of the YEP 3's (13 entrepreneurs from SA) to win this awesome opportunity! What a year 2011 was, I am now even more excited about what 2012 will hold.

I can't wait to launch Bamboo, my new business, with the help of C4cube (the entrepreneurial incubator in Reno that I will be interning at)!
