STARTUP PICNIC is a franchise of casual, informal and fun networking events for entrepreneurs, aspirants and other stakeholders at large. It’s an opportunity to unwind, make friends, get active, play, absorb information and tie relationships.

Entrepreneurship can be lonely and depressing. We create a nest for easy-casual-connecting and networking for entrepreneurs over a beer, braai and play.

One day we are doing a picnic, the other taking a road trip to craft beer breweries, bungee jumping, a STARTUP PICNIC marathon, giving time to good cause initiatives, etc, as long as it is fun and connects entrepreneurs to play and refresh.

STARTUP PICNIC attracts various entrepreneurship stakeholders and organisations, including, angel investors, venture capitalists, accelerators and incubators.

Picnics

Our picnic events start off with an outdoor breakfast talk then followed by braaing, music, exhibitions and fun games. These games could include volleyball, table tennis, water polo, table soccer, 5 aside soccer, touch rugby and sack race.
