With the rise of entrepreneurship in East Africa, there is a parallel rise in misunderstanding of the role of venture capital, how to pitch to venture capital, how to scale an early-stage high-growth venture, etc.

So Savannah Fund decided to partner with Knife Capital and the University of Cape Town to bring you: VC Course.

  • When: July 29 & 30, 8am-5pm
  • Where: iHub
  • Who: Anyone with a vested interest in entrepreneurship and business building (entrepreneurs and investors)
  • Price: Corporate: $1000, Qualifying Startup: $350.

Update: We have added 2 local partners to help localize the content & material relevant for East Africa. Anjarwalla and Khanna/Africa Legal Network, voted top legal firm in Africa and Delyde Associates, accounting, tax, audit and book-keeping firm that counts Google and International Finance Corporation (IFC) as clients across Africa.
