About Elite
Entrepreneur School
A mission rooted in purpose, faith and lived experience to transform South Africa’s future through entrepreneurship.
Meet the Founder
Elite Entrepreneur School was founded on a deep personal calling to change South Africa’s future through entrepreneurship.
Our founder, Thomas Marx, has a purpose rooted in purpose, faith and lived experience. After losing a close friend to crime that often stems from poverty and unemployment and seeing the devastating impact of that in society, a clear mission emerged: build entrepreneurs who build jobs, stability and opportunity.
EES exists not as a business project, but as a national mission to transform lives through sustainable entrepreneurship which will destroy unemployment, poverty and crimes of necessity.
