The Startup Huddle conversations continue in Johannesburg, this time turning the focus to the founder behind the business. 22 On Sloane presents a session titled “From Founder Hustle to Founder Capacity” – an exploration of what it takes to lead a growing business without losing momentum or direction.
The Challenge
As founders move beyond the hustle phase, growth introduces new opportunities – but also greater responsibility. Leadership expectations shift, teams expand, decision-making becomes more complex, and maintaining continuity through uncertainty becomes critical.
What the Session Explores
- The realities founders face as businesses progress
- Leadership and decision-making beyond the hustle mindset
- Building resilience and continuity through change
- Practical reflections on sustaining founder capacity
Who Should Attend
This session is designed for founders who are:
- Moving from startup phase to growth phase
- Managing expanding teams and complex decisions
- Seeking to build personal and business resilience
- Looking to lead effectively through transitions
