HERTERMS
A community for women building a business of their own, in Cape Town.
Why Her Terms
Built onYour terms
Many women have the experience or the idea to start a business. What's often missing is the room to work on it, a practical plan, and people around the table who get it.
Her Terms is that room. We bring women together in Cape Town to work on real businesses side by side, with practical help in business, tech and strategy. No overnight success stories, no hustle. Just clear thinking, small real-world tests and a community that keeps you going.
Our storyWhat we stand for
How weBuild
Four ideas run through everything we do, from a Saturday workshop to a weekend retreat.
Start with what you have
Your work experience or one early idea is enough to begin. You don't need a finished plan to walk in.
Test it in the real world
Small, practical tests with real people beat big launches. We help you learn fast and spend little.
Tech that works for you
Digital tools and AI are helpers you choose, never a requirement. No coding or website needed.
Nobody builds alone
Peer feedback in the room and a check-in after, so the work keeps moving between sessions.
