Inspire Sessions: The Platforms

Speakers:

  • Aisha Pandor
  • Katlego Maphai
  • Wesley Lynch

One of the most coveted positions in tech entrepreneurship is to be able to call your business a 'platform'. It creates a community and a moat around your business that renders it extremely hard to compete against. In October, we're featuring three CEOs who have done exactly that. Aisha Pandor is the co-founder and CEO of Sweepsouth, one of the most lauded startups in Africa. Katlego Maphai is the CEO of Yoco, which recently sailed past 50,000 vendors. Wesley Lynch is the CEO of Snapplify, which received over $2m in funding to further expand its marketplace platform into global markets. This event is compulsory for anyone considering a tech startup. We will be delving into the challenges and opportunities that each of these entrepreneurs have faced on their journey, looking at the lessons that we can all apply to our own ventures.

This event will be held at the stunning Workshop17 venue in the centre of Cape Town's crown jewel, V&A Waterfront, with a breathtaking backdrop of Table Mountain to the side of the stage. Heavy Chef CEO Fred Roed will MC the event and complimentary wine and beverages will be served.



This event is a collaboration between Heavy Chef and Discovery Business Insurance, and supported by the following partners:
