Alex Fenton agreed with Ben Smith, adding:

"It’s very true. I’m building as many of my teams in Cape Town as I can (and getting down there as much as poss). I have been doing so for 3y now, I am told there is a thriving expat/foreign visitor entrepreneurial community, yet to stumble across it but haven’t been looking hard."
