About Us

Your Entrepreneurial Support Network

Entrepreneurship isn’t a solo journey. EO Cape Town connects you with like-minded leaders who offer support, insights, and growth opportunities through peer forums, mentorship programs, and exclusive events.

Guiding Principles for Growth and Connection

Our Core Values

At EO, our core values shape everything we do. They guide our decisions, inspire our members, and foster a culture of trust, collaboration, and continuous learning. These principles create a strong foundation for meaningful connections, business growth, and personal development within our local and global community.

Each of us is unique and equal. This is fundamental to EO. Living this value with an open mind and appreciation for different points of view enables us to create a space where everyone can be their complete, authentic selves.

We have an insatiable curiosity. It is through curiosity that we grow and widen our horizons. Learning is about more than a class or a workshop—it is about asking the right questions, trying new things and having curiosity about other members, their life experiences and their perspectives.

We innovate and take risks to make the world a better place for our teams, our families, our communities, and for humankind. We think big, we are bold. We want to make a difference beyond ourselves. We see entrepreneurship as a way to create a better world for all, and we explore new opportunities to make a positive impact with our work.

We are committed to each other’s success and well-being—and we unite to celebrate those differences. We may be from different cultures, religions and have different lived experiences, but EO binds us together across cities and continents.
