Secure your spectator ticket for the second national qualifier of The Big Pitch 2025, the largest startup pitch series in South African history, in partnership with The South African Future Trust. This year, twenty of the country’s most promising startups will battle it out live and on-stage, for an unprecedented $1 million investment into their business (subject to due diligence and T&Cs).

After an electrifying first qualifier in April, we’re heading to Cape Town on 13 August, where ten startups - selected from hundreds of applicants - will take the stage live, all vying for a spot in the grand finale at this year’s SA Future Trust Summit at the Sandton Convention Centre in early November.

Don’t miss the chance to be part of this momentous event in person - and connect with some of South Africa’s top entrepreneurs, operators, investors, and enablers. Secure your spectator seat today!
