In collaboration with LaunchLab, we cordially invite you to an exclusive “Success Factor” networking event!

We are bringing together two successful leaders from very different corners of the small business world for an engaging event. They’ll share the real, on-the-ground lessons on what it takes to start and grow a successful business in South Africa.

Meet our speakers:
Stephan Bredell, founder of Platō Coffee
Stephan is the visionary behind the incredible rise of Platō Coffee. What started as a single side-hustle coffee container in Irene in 2019 has, under his leadership, grown into a national phenomenon with over 130 locations and 700 jobs created.

Magdel Kemp, co-owner of Kamers Makers
Magdel is one of the owners & COO behind Kamers Makers, South Africa’s leading showcase of South African creativity where local brands begin and grow. Kamers Makers now host six national shows annually, attracting nearly 60,000 visitors and showcasing the work of over 300 carefully curated Makers.

Join us to hear their stories, learn from their successes and failures, and walk away with actionable insights.

Date: Thursday, 19 March 2026
Time: 16:30 – 19:00
Venue: SU LaunchLab, Hammanshand Rd, Stellenbosch

But the conversation doesn’t stop there! Following the discussion, we’ll be mixing and mingling over drinks and snacks, the perfect opportunity to connect with fellow founders, innovators, and ecosystem players.
