Launch Event: "Diary of a Serial Entrepreneur"
Wednesday, 17 September 2025 | 09h00 - 11h00
About this event
Welcome to the launch of Cape Town's freshest networking experience for entrepreneurs! The JET Business Breakfast Club Monthly Series is designed to support and build the entrepreneurial community through fresh, engaging formats that create new opportunities for meaningful connections and genuine growth. Each month brings a different element - from intimate fireside chats to interactive workshops - providing the space for entrepreneurs to connect, learn, and grow together through innovative networking experiences.
This first event features Paul Simon in "Diary of a Serial Entrepreneur" - a raw, honest exploration of the entrepreneurial journey that goes beyond the highlight reel.
In his own words: "I will be sharing the trials and tribulations of my entrepreneurial journey, the highs, the lows, the successes and the failures of the various concepts I have birthed."
This isn't your typical success story. This is the real story - complete with plot twists, setbacks, and the lessons that only come from living it.
