Masterclass - "Why You Are Not a Billionaire"...

11/8/2016

...because you don't understand value chains.

In this free fast-paced class you will learn how the world's top entrepreneurs design new value chains that transform whole industries - in the process creating great wealth for everyone.

We will be sharing lessons from the work of great entrepreneurs such as Elon Musk, as well as from my experience of cofounding two startups that were both acquired (one for $110m) and from working with entrepreneurs across South Africa.

After the class there will be a "Coffee With Neil" session where you can discuss your ideas with Neil and the others.

This class is sponsored by Koi and hosted by the Bandwidth Barn in Cape Town and The Innovation Hub in Pretoria.

"Green" IDEA Workshop with the Sustainability Institute

11/8/2016

I will be running a two-day Koi IDEA Workshop together with the Sustainability Institute in Stellenbosch in September. This will be a great opportunity for those who want to become entrepreneurs in the "green" space to learn how to launch a successful new venture - from idea to execution!

It is exciting to be working with the Sustainability Institute as they are a leader in the green space.

The Sustainability Institute (SI) was established in the Lynedoch Ecovillage in 1999 to provide a space for people to explore an approach to creating a more equitable society. The SI is an international living and learning centre providing learning experiences in ecology, community and spirit, with programmes starting in their Baby Centre and Creche, extending through their partnership with SPARK Schools in Lynedoch, continue in their Learning for Sustainability FET College and promote both research and practice through our University of Stellenbosch degrees. Their research and practice maintains a strong focus on sustainable African futures, through our student and faculty research and SI Projects, our growing research consulting programme.

They are looking to build our understanding and learning in core areas we recognise as critical in supporting the transition to equitable, just and thriving futures, through focusing on flourishing food systems, social innovation, optimal resource flows and transformative learning from birth.
