Tech-Capital is a black-owned IT consultancy and training company founded in Centurion in 2018. Its bursary is aimed at a group most technology funders overlook: black students living with a disability who are studying for an IT degree. It pays the fees on the university statement, and past rounds were tied to the University of Pretoria.
