In a world where technology evolves at lightning speed, how do entrepreneurs stay relevant without exhausting themselves? How can creativity and innovation translate into sustainable business growth? These questions are at the heart of our upcoming Startup Grind fireside chat with one of South Africa's most dynamic tech entrepreneurs.
