Citivas Johannesburg

Connect and learn from the top founders and CEO’s in Johannesburg.

Welcome to Civitas Johannesburg where some of the top founders and CEOs in the city connect on a regular basis. The chapter has been running since 2019 in that time we have learnt what are the common business challenges Jozi entrepreneurs face and how to best solve them.

We have built up a comprehensive list of great suppliers operating in the city. Most of the members are in the R5 million to R300 million revenue range with a few slightly larger businesses. A number of the top performers are growing fast and we are looking to attract more members managing larger businesses.

We run at least two in person events a month mostly in Sandton and Rosebank with unique experiences happening every second month in different parts of the city. If you are interested in growing your business 10x in the next few years leave your details and a team member will reach out.

Building a great business is tough. We strive to make it a little easier by coming together to learn and grow. By joining Civitas Johannesburg you will position yourself to grow individually, but also build a business that helps grow the city and South Africa.
