🎤 Topic 🎤: Build First, Scale Later: A Founder's Playbook

👤 Speaker 👤: Shaqeel Less, Makhi Mangxola | Uthutho

Too many ideas never make it past planning. Shaqeel and Makhi share how they focused on building first—using free platforms, AI tools, and practical execution—to get Uthutho (an app that brings real time data and community networks together to digitise public transport information) live on the Play Store. Learn how early technical decisions can set you up to scale seamlessly into platforms
