Justin Stanford will give us a short and sweet update on what’s been happening in the Silicon Cape; One of SA’s leading investors will offer some concise insights into what investors are looking for; and then we open the floor up to YOU, the entrepreneurs. 6 – 8 entrepreneurs will be given the opportunity to shake some stealth by pitching their business ideas to the audience. The audience will vote for their favourite and a small prize will be handed over along with everlasting fame.
