Some familiar faces. Some brand new ones. Same rhythm, every week. Deon said it best in the group chat after: “Was really fun to connect & chat — looking forward to the next one!” That’s the whole vibe. Come walk with us, Cape Town. ☕🚶 #FoundersCafe #founderlife #capetownbusiness #secretcapetown

This morning, someone drove into the back of my car on the way to the Alphen Trail 😅 But before I could even properly stress about it, Rory Brachner was already stepping in to save the day. And honestly… it reinforced something I’ve been thinking about a lot lately: Building things that don’t depend entirely on me. If Founders Café is going to grow sustainably, it has to become bigger than one person organising every detail or leading every walk. Today was proof that we’re building the kind of community where people genuinely show up for each other. What a privilege to build with good people. Now I’m mostly wondering… who else should I rope into leading future netwalks? 👀☕️ #founderlife #netwalk #capetownbusiness
