About

Startup Club ZA is the home for South African tech startups building the future.


We bring together founders, investors, operators and partners to build meaningful companies - and a stronger startup ecosystem - together.


Founded in 2023, Startup Club ZA has grown into South Africa’s largest independent tech founder and investor network, hosting 30+ events nationally, welcoming over 10,000 in-person attendees, and supporting hundreds of technology ventures through our ecosystem.


Our work is built around three pillars:


Community

Founder-first gatherings, national initiatives and flagship events that create meaningful connection and shared progress.


Platform

Platform ZA - our national discovery, jobs and media platform - increasing visibility, access and opportunity for startups and talent.


Capital

A founder-aligned, permanent-capital investment vehicle designed to back high-quality teams with long-term stewardship.


We believe strong ecosystems are built through trust, relationships and consistent action - not gatekeeping or hype.


If you're building, backing or enabling ambitious technology companies in South Africa, you're welcome here.

"I really like how well planned this event was. Every touch point was considered for the guests. There was so much depth in the talks and they were really informative. There has been a great generosity within the tech space, a sharing of raw and relatable ideas. I wish it was open to a lot of tech start ups who are really in inception phase."
