Future Females Cape Town is hosting an in-person event focusing on the topic of financing, both personally and as a business.
The event will be held in the form of a Founders Fireside chat and the founders of Future Females Lauren Dallas and Cerina Bezuidenhout will discuss how they built Future Females without funding, the decision to still forgo funding or external loans, as well as share their personal financial stories and being financially independent.
The engaging event will touch on the following topics, relating to finance:
- What is Finance?
- How to save on your personal and business finances?
- How to create revenue to finance your business
- Where invest your money effectively?

Work Visas for Founders: AMA for International Startups Launching in the U.S., with Legalpad
Hosted by Techstars, the event will touch on how immigrants within or outside of the US can tap into and enter the US startup ecosystem.
Although the US is yet to implement a startup visa that would clear a pathway for entrepreneurs to launch U.S. companies, this event aims to provide valuable information from two Techstars founders that are helping fellow entrepreneurs navigate the US immigration system.
Both Sara Itucas and Logan Ullyott will share insights into what they’ve learned from helping hundreds of startups secure work visas and green cards.
