About this event

Building a business is hard. Scaling it is harder. Exiting is where very few make it. So what does it really take? Join us for our final Open Letter Gathering of 2026 in Cape Town, our biggest gathering of the year, as founders, operators, investors and business leaders come together for an evening on what it takes to scale and exit . Our headline speakers are confirmed. We'll be revealing who they are over the next two weeks. Fireside chat: a founder who built a business all the way to a R1 billion exit, sharing the real story behind the growth, the hard calls and the deal. Panel conversation: one of South Africa's top venture capital investors on what investors look for, what it takes to scale, and how great exits are built. Whether you're building your first startup, scaling a growing business, or investing in the next big thing, this is the room to be in.
