Founder Exchange Dinner

Founder Exchange Dinner — Vol. 1

Good food. Real-life lessons. Zero drama - just #DoingSomethingGreat

A new monthly dinner series for founders — hosted at a different table around Cape Town each month, built around one down-to-Earth, insightful & and very life-applicable conversation and a room full of like-minded people committed to making a difference.

This is NOT a stand-around-with-a-name-tag networking event.

It's a small table, a good-for-your-best meal, and enough time to learn and talk — about the systems, strategies and mindset it takes to build something that lasts, and creates positive impact you are proud of.

Come with something to trade

Before dessert, we're doing a Karma Round: everyone shares one real challenge they're stuck on right now, and one concrete way they could help someone else at the table. No pitching, no business cards — just founders opening doors for each other.

Bring both - gives and asks.

On the table

Dinner is a 3-course plant-based set menu by Chilled — Cape Town's drama-free eating experience, built on the idea that good food shouldn't come with sacrifices or a bad sleep and heavy morning.

Expect a Creole-style vegetable curry, a pea & mint risotto with marinated tofu skewers, and a properly indulgent chocolate brownie to finish.

Fresh, vibrant, and only good vibes and digestion.

Mojo Market, 2nd Floor (Chilled) — 30 Regent Road, Sea Point, Cape Town

Thursday, 1 October · 18:00–20:00

R350 · capped at 20 seats

Your worth-knowing-and-learning-from speaker: Yaron Assabi

Yaron's the founder of what's today the Digital Solutions Group — a business he started back in 1998 as Digital Mall, building one of South Africa's first mobile commerce platforms and taking it into the UK and Australasia. Over more than 2 decades of building through multiple tech cycles, he's also served as ICT strategist for the Nelson Mandela Foundation.

He's not here to give you the highlight reel — he's here to talk about what it actually took.

An evening not to miss!
