Members organisation · South Africa
U&I is a members organisation where founders and experienced operators back each other with knowledge, funding routes, strategy, systems and introductions that actually move a business forward.
Free membership available · Apply as an Underdog, an Influencer, or both.
What U&I is
Members open their networks to each other — introductions to funders, suppliers, operators and buyers who are already in the room.
We connect each member to the specific requirement they bring: capital, strategy, systems, distribution or hard-won experience.
Members see every offering and pitch inside the organisation, plus invitations to closed events where those deals get done.
Who joins
The Underdog
Founders, pioneers and risk takers who see a gap in the market and have the drive to take a business — existing or still an idea — to its next level.
The Influencer
Mentors, investors and operators who want to guide the next generation — and to find the ventures and partnerships worth putting their weight behind.
