Startup Grind Cape Town is celebrating 6 years of inspiring, educating and connecting entrepreneurs. We're celebrating the founders, side hustlers, founding teams, founder spouses, investors, ecosystem builders, sponsors, students and all the enablers! This year at our birthday we're featuring Janine Basel, the founder of Akro Capital. Akro Capital is a R100 million investment fund that Janine started after spending 16 years as a stay at home mum. Akro Capital also owns Akro co-working spaces and Akro Accelerator and has received investment from the R1.4 billion SA SME Fund. In addition to accelerating and funding startups across sectors and stages, Akro runs the Girl Boss Hustle initiative that supports female entrepreneurs. Once again we're expecting over 1,000 attendees. Don't miss the biggest fireside chat in the world! We will have food, drinks, DJs, photo booth, prizes and so much fun. Take some time out to celebrate your hustle, your grind, your successes and your hard lessons!
This event is FREE so get your tickets early as they will be sold out soon.
