“There are a lot of creative and talented entrepreneurs in this area of Cape Town who want to work among a like-minded community without spending two to three hours in traffic every day,” said CEO and co-founder of Coworkite, Adrian Stander in a press release to Ventureburn.
Stander also mentioned that the office space is open to tech companies in the post-revenue stage looking for funding.
Coworkite will also be participating in future funding rounds hosted by Croatian seed-stage investment firm, 800 Ventures.
“800 Ventures will invest in tech startups in seed stage up to R1.5-million and together with investors in our network we will participate in future funding rounds,” said CEO of 800 Ventures, Matija Rukavina.
“We wanted to create a small community driven coworking office where members can get to know each other, and where we can work closely with founders and help them in growing their business,” Rukavina continued.
According to Rukavina, many of the investors which form part of 800 Ventures network are serial entrepreneurs who have built many companies already.
“We’ve done it ourselves and we want to help others to grow their businesses too,” concluded Rukavina.
