• Capacity Development Provider
THUD events are hosted monthly across various cities in South Africa and select countries in SADC, East and, West Africa. Since the pandemic in 2020, we have digitized our interactions to curb the spread of the virus. We are intentional in educating startups of the various opportunities to trade, that exist across regions and create connections between stakeholders that can scale startups. We aim to create a culture of entrepreneurship through informal dialogue and have the ultimate goal of connecting African entrepreneurs to entrepreneurs across the world and even opportunities in the private and public sectors.
