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.

"From late-night brainstorming over chai to early morning founder calls, eChai has been more than just a network for me; it’s been home base for ideas, impact, and inspiration. What started as a simple meetup years ago turned into a powerful movement, connecting founders, creators, and dreamers. I’ve had the privilege of seeing startups find product-market fit, marketers (like me) find unexpected collaborations, and most importantly, people finding their tribe. संगच्छध्वं संवदध्वं – Let us move together, speak together. It’s not just a verse from the Rigveda — it’s how Jatin and the entire eChai community truly operate. We don’t just network, we grow together. Forever grateful to be a part of the eChai Effect.
