David Quiring, founder from Berlin
I am in Cape Town to work remotely. A few weeks ago I founded a software startup. The rest of my team works distributed everywhere. During the weekday mornings I drive to the coworking space that I have booked in advance. A place costs me 150 euros per month. There are many coworking spaces in Cape Town – even WeWork – and most of them were fully booked. I usually work until 7pm. After that I go to dinner, to a food market or to a bar and often meet new people.
Before I arrived, I looked: who are the people here while I’m here? Who do I want to date? On site, I realized that this is superfluous. There are so many people from the German tech scene and Berlin here — you keep bumping into each other.
