Johannesburg Venture Breakfast
August 3, 2026 — Johannesburg, South Africa
Johannesburg Venture Breakfast
An informal monthly breakfast pairing emerging fund managers with limited partners, structured around short introductions and long conversations. Join us on August 3, 2026, at the Rosebank Long Room.
Presented by
Sankofa Ventures
The unglamorous work of raising a first fund
Emerging managers, LPs, and honest numbers.
First-time fund managers rarely get a straight answer about what LPs actually want to see. This breakfast exists to close that gap, with allocators who commit to speaking plainly about their diligence process.
Seats are capped so the conversation stays useful. Half the room is managers raising now; the other half writes the cheques.
