Premier Hotel Midrand
ABOUT
THE FOUNDRY
The Foundry is a full-day founder and business design intensive designed around a simple premise: before we develop the business, we develop the founder. Then we design the business to carry the founder's ambition. Across the day, Ntsoaki Sibiya and Miyelani Baloyi bring together founder development, Business Design and enterprise growth to help founders strengthen how they think, lead, decide and build.
THE EXPERIENCE
01 — Founder Architecture: Develop the internal capability required to lead with greater clarity, discipline and resilience.
02 — Business Design: Turn insight into compelling value propositions, stronger commercial models and differentiated offers.
03 — Enterprise Growth: Design the infrastructure required to scale without creating a business that depends entirely on its founder.
04 — Mentorship: Build the ecosystem that compounds your capability.
The experience is deliberately designed to move from the founder to the business, and from the business to sustainable growth.
