Building a company alone is tough. However, when you have the support and guidance of top founders, the journey becomes a lot smoother. As business owners, we face new challenges and tough decisions every day.
The most effective way to overcome these hurdles is by surrounding ourselves with like-minded founders who have been through similar experiences that can help us identify our blind spots.
But don't just take our word for it; research studies from around the world confirm the exceptional results achieved by entrepreneurs who belong to great networks. Silicon Valley, MIT, Y Combinator, and many other networks have shown to all significantly increase odds of success.
If you're leading a high-growth company in South Africa, finding your tribe can be challenging. That's where Civitas comes in.
By joining Civitas, you gain immediate access to a community of great founders so you can learn from some of the best up-and-coming entrepreneurs in the country.

Leveraging our experience working with hundreds of top entrepreneurs, we are developing South Africa's most comprehensive CEO playbook.
By accessing this resource, you'll save valuable hours of time.
It includes one-page answers and recommended supplier lists that have proven effective for other fast-growing companies.
Every week, we invite the country's most sought-after CEOs, consultants, and advisors to conduct small group mentoring sessions with 5 to 15 members.
We've previously hosted industry experts like Matt Mochary, the world's top CEO coach, Paul Cook from UCook, and Ian Fuhr from Sorbet.
We organize 2 to 3 monthly in-person events, ranging from CEO breakfasts and networking drinks to unique adventures like company tours, wine tastings, hikes, retreats, and private dining experiences.
These events provide an opportunity to meet remarkable individuals while engaging in unique and enriching learning experiences.
To join Civitas, you must be a MD, CEO, or founder of a business, have annual revenue of at least R1M or possess exceptional prior experience.
CEO groups are carefully matched based on industry (Tech, Services, or Product) and revenue range (R1 to R5 million, R5 million to R20 million, R20 million to R100 million, R100 million to R1 billion).
If you believe you're a good fit or if you're unsure, take a moment to apply below, and we will get back to you promptly.
