About Us

UNDERDOGS & INFLUENCERS, also known as “U & I,” is a members organisation for like-minded entrepreneurs who offer each other a variety of different support mechanisms or joint partnerships in the form of intellectual knowledge, experience, information, funding, strategy, systems and many other much-needed mechanisms in business.
The risks, benefits and expectations are agreed upon upfront and shared willingly with each other and the U & I foundation.

Underdog Dog

Underdogs

Also known as entrepreneurs, pioneers, risk takers and those who see a gap in the market or who believe and have the drive to take their business, whether existing or as an idea to the next level.

They have the formula, they have the methodology and all they need is the support and infrastructure in the form of a contributing partner to help them achieve that next level and overcome those unavailable support systems or unknown obstacles in the road that lies ahead.

The UNDERDOG is hungry, open to advice and happy to share their success and risk with those who are worthy and those who ultimately share in the same vision.

U&I Influencers

Influencers

Nothing beats experience… and experience is not achieved without sacrifices. Walked the road, did the hard yards and still bleeding all the way along – but loving every moment thereof!

Forever chasing that challenge and having the confidence of knowing that no obstacle is ever big enough or tough enough to overcome. When you put your unique set of skills, lifetime experience and long-nurtured network into the mix – you have the formula and the magic to make things happen!

A keen eye for an opportunity and the self-control to know which battles are worth fighting and which are not. A calculated risk-taker-endeared mentor and the love for success for all involved – makes you the perfect INFLUENCER and much-needed guide and partner to all those UNDERDOGS finding their way to success.

Success Stories

“I started doing garden work for my mother’s work colleagues while being in high school for pocket money – but quickly realised that I could only do so much in a day without more equipment and labour to assist – but did not have the money to buy the necessary equipment. My breakthrough came when one of my clients offered to help buy the machinery I needed and put together a marketing plan and offered to endorse or act as a reference for me and my business. We also managed to register the business and abide by all the legal requirements which enabled me access to tenders and corporate work. I already had access to helpers in the form of my brothers and cousins and within months my “influencer” once again helped me to purchase our first vehicle – which in turn enabled my company to take on bigger contracts. We continue to work together and the business has grown into various other areas and provides all my needs. All I needed was that little help and now I have become an influencer myself and help others to succeed, where possible.”

“My father originally gifted me a taxi route that he had negotiated, but the problem was that I did not have a vehicle and could not get finance due to my then financial situation or any family or friends willing to assist. I was introduced to Mark & Trevor who agreed to finance and provide the vehicle under their names and today we have a successful operation with additional routes and multiple vehicles on the road – providing a decent income to all 3 of us.”

“I grew up on the street corner in the city assisting my father with his informal barbershop. I always wanted to open my own but needed the tools, batteries, trolley, chair, branding and gazebo – but no bank or lenders would assist me in my venture. My influencer helped me get started and I have returned the investment within 2 months and now operate and provide for my family on my own.”

From humble beginnings and acquired skills working for others – These guys put me on the map with seed money, registrations, legal, accounting and administrative assistance and I now have a very successful solar installation company of my own. We are receiving our first shipment and cannot keep up with demand.
Thanks, guys.
Really appreciate the partnership.
