All about the realities of building a startup.
PULL UP A SEAT
One question. Different perspectives.
An honest conversation.
Pitch competitions, networking, accelerators and the illusion of progress. Are you actually building a business, or just keeping yourself busy?
Arriscar tudo, sobrevivência financeira, pressão familiar e social. Qual o melhor momento e modelo? Vale a pena arriscar tudo quando só se tem um sonho?
The emotional rollercoaster of building a startup. Pressure, uncertainty, isolation, burnout, mental health and the constant struggle to keep going.
Open to founders, wherever you are on your journey.
WHAT IS REAL TALK?
Open, honest and informal conversations between founders and Djassi Africa.
Not another webinar. Not a masterclass. Not another session where founders sit quietly while someone explains how entrepreneurship is supposed to work.
Think of it as a tertúlia for founders: a small group, one provocative question, and no idea where the conversation will end up.
Not theoretical questions. We hear them every week from founders across markets, industries and stages.
And Djassi won’t just moderate. We’ll be in the conversation — sharing what we’ve seen, and challenging the assumptions the ecosystem repeats without testing them.
We don’t expect everyone to agree. In fact, we hope they won’t.
No playbook. No ready-made answers. One topic per session, and founders willing to share, question and challenge each other.
No slides. No pitches. No success-story theatre.
Just founders, Djassi Africa and the realities of building a startup.
Welcome to REAL TALK.
