When Founders Travel, Community Travels With Them <> Cape Town Founders Social

When Founders Travel, Community Travels With Them <> Cape Town Founders Social
One of the things we have seen at eChai Ventures over the years is how founders host founders when they travel. When someone is in a new city for work, building partnerships, or exploring, instead of scattered one-to-one coffees, we bring people together in one place. It becomes an easy and friendly entry point to understand the local ecosystem.

This Wednesday, we are doing that in Cape Town, South Africa. A small Founders Social at The Vineyard, Newlands, for founders and operators to meet, share what they are building, exchange experiences, and see where conversations go.

It will be hosted by Keval Padia and Rajiv Patil from Nimblechapps, who are spending time in South Africa working with teams on product development and MVP launches. Solly Moeng will also be joining. He works across reputation strategy and stakeholder communication, bringing a grounded perspective to the room.

This Wednesday, Nov 12, 6 to 8 pm
The Vineyard, 60 Colinton Rd, Newlands.

If you are in Cape Town, or know someone who is, DM me or Keval Padia. Happy to share details or help you loop in friends who might enjoy being part of this.

The eChai Effect - In Their Words

"We found eChai to be a force multiplier throughout our startup journey. Through it, we connected with folks from DevX, Allevents, Plutomen, and more - many of whom became friends of IndiaBizForSale.com and even part of our clientele."

"After moving back from the USA, eChai became my go-to space to learn how the Indian startup ecosystem works. It offered direct exposure to startup thinking and a community that openly shares business insights. What stood out was how easy it was to connect, learn, and grow through real conversations. As we built our IT hardware rentals business, eChai helped us find our niche and refine our path. Proud and grateful to be part of this amazing community."

"eChai has played a truly pivotal role in HummingBird’s journey — even before Day Zero. From ideation to establishment and into growth, it’s been a constant source of support. It connected me with incredible people who’ve become more than just friends. One of the biggest reasons I chose to stay in Ahmedabad is because of the eChai community. It has shaped my growth — both personally and professionally — in ways that are hard to articulate. Honestly, words fall short when I try to express what eChai means to me. I’m deeply thankful and forever grateful to eChai for being such an integral part of my journey."
