About Her Terms

WhoWe are

A community for women building a business of their own, run as practical workshops in Cape Town.

Her Terms brings together two founders and two kinds of business. One of us built a service from twenty years of work experience; the other builds products. Between us we cover both ways in.

Who it's for

WomenStarting out

Women in Cape Town with the work experience or the early idea to start a business of their own.

  • Experienced professionalsYears of work behind you and a sense it could become something of your own.
  • Early product foundersAn idea you keep coming back to, and no clear way to test it yet.
  • ExplorersNot sure what the business is yet, and ready to find out.

What we promise

Progress, not outcomes.

We won't promise overnight success, a guaranteed income or a fully launched business by December. We will give you a clear direction, a practical plan and small real-world tests, and we'll check in to make sure you never test alone.

AI and digital tools are there to help if you want them. You don't need any technical knowledge to take part.
