Startup Grind and Tech4Afrika are doing something useful – bringing down the cost for entrepreneurs to attend high quality conferences and seminars. Tech4Afrika for instance outlines its mission as:
We think that the best tech ecosystems in the world have regular events which bring together people in tech to learn, meet new people and have lots of fun.
We don’t like suits and ties, there are no plenaries, committees and chairpeople. We focus on great content and value for all who attend, free wifi, coffee all day, fun at night, and an electric atmosphere you won’t find anywhere else.
Startup Grind is part of an international network that provides events for entrepreneurs. They have lots of interesting videos. (Warning: It is a bit of a time sink). The Cape Town and Johannesburg events should prove interesting and affordable.
Over the next few months, they have events running, including:
- Tech4Africa Cape Town – 28 August 2014 – R500,00 excl
- Tech4Africa Johannesburg – 8-9 October 2014 – R500,00 excl
- Strartup Grind Cape Town hosting Groupon CEOs – 28 August 2014 (18:00) – R100,00 excl

Please note that the cost of lunch is not included at the Tech4Africa event, and is for your own account. For two days of talks from some interesting speakers, we however think the R 500-00 price is fairly priced. (More so because we often get request to profile events targeting entrepreneurs that cost over R 3000-00 for a single day. We simply do not profile these events, not just because of price, but because they are akin to cheerleading.)
(Editors Note: Zapreneur does not write sponsored posts. If we think an event is valuable we will profile it).
