What a night 🤩⚡️

The energy at Workshack was electric as we dove into the reality of building and scaling venture-backed businesses.

Huge thanks to the incredible speakers! Brett Commaille for breaking down the mechanics of scaling and Thalia Pillay and Michael Maas for sharing the raw, unfiltered truth behind the startup journey. It was a night of real stories, hard-earned lessons and zero fluff.

It was inspiring to see the room packed with so many ambitious founders and operators. This is exactly what Workshack is all about: community, innovation and learning from those who have walked the path before us. Thank you to everyone who joined us for an evening of connection and growth.

A massive shout-out to all the partners for bringing this vision to life: The Open Letter - SA Startup & Tech 🇿🇦 Capitec Cell C and Cloud On Demand

When life hands you marshmallows you make hot chocolate ☕️😎

At least that is what happened at our last member exclusive Workshack event ✨🙌🏼

Our members crafted their own steaming mugs of joy, complete with chocolate drops, sprinkles and marshmallows. A sweet reminder that innovation is best enjoyed in good company 🫶🏼🍫

While WorkShack believes in the power of community, sharing and collaboration we also understand that some things need to be dealt with in a more personal manner. 🔎🔐

Taking inspiration from London's iconic red telephone boxes our phone booths not only look great but also offer a soundproof and quiet space for private conversations or meetings. 🔇😎

Next time you need some quiet time, privacy or just a time-out from the hustle and bustle 👌🏼✨ you know where to go!
