Durban, South Africa – At just 20 years old, Sfiso has achieved what many entrepreneurs spend a lifetime pursuing: building multiple e-commerce stores generating more than $1 million in online sales, and growing a YouTube community of nearly 90,000 subscribers. Yet, for him, this is only the beginning.

From Bedroom Startup to Global Reach

Sfiso’s entrepreneurial journey began at 17, working late nights from his bedroom in South Africa. What started as small experiments in e-commerce quickly transformed into a thriving online business.

“Running a digital business in South Africa wasn’t easy,” says Sfiso. “Power outages made staying online a challenge, and most people around me didn’t even believe what I was doing was real. Honestly, explaining how I made money online was harder than making the money itself.”

Overcoming Doubts and Redefining Possibility

The technical challenges were significant, but the mental barriers were even greater.

“I used to believe entrepreneurs in the U.S. or Europe were automatically better than me because they had more resources and networks,” Sfiso recalls. “The hardest part was proving to myself that talent beats geography. Once I accepted that, everything changed.”

Despite moments of isolation, he stayed committed—an experience that later inspired his mission to create a platform where no young founder has to feel they are building alone.Video Link: https://www.youtube.com/embed/CwEflF08XEY?si=Px9gfUaCtQoSZaRC

Building Global Success

Through persistence, creativity, and the limitless reach of the internet, Sfiso scaled his online stores past $1 million in sales before the age of 20. At the same time, he built a fast-growing YouTube channel that now connects with an audience of nearly 90,000 aspiring entrepreneurs worldwide.
