Founders & Funders Padel event - Play, Connect, Invest

​On the day after the Digital Collective Africa VC Unconference and to conclude the AfricArise Founders Bootcamp, join us for a unique and relaxed networking experience — the Founders & Funders Padel Mixer.

​

​This invite-only session brings together some of Africa’s most dynamic founders, investors, and ecosystem leaders for an afternoon of spirited founders vs. funders matches, light-hearted competition, and meaningful conversations.

​

​The event is carefully scheduled not to clash with any main SuperReturn or AfricArena Grand Summit activitiesand will be followed by the AfricArena VC Night — making it the perfect social and networking bridge between the two key gatherings.

​

​What to Expect:

​

• ​Friendly Padel matches pairing investors and founders — a fun way to break the ice before the Summit week begins.

• ​Relaxed networking with great people, scenic Camps Bay views, and post-match refreshments.

• ​A chance to forge genuine connections before the intensity of SuperReturn and the Grand Summit.

​

​Why Attend:

​

• ​Build meaningful relationships with leading investors and entrepreneurs.

• ​Kick off Summit Week in a fresh, engaging, and energetic way.

• ​Stay part of the continuous flow of activities connecting the Bootcamp → Padel Mixer → VC Night → Grand Summit.
