African VC/ Startup News - the podcast! Ep01: Get Thread

Author: Daryn Munnik November 19, 2020 Duration: 0:00

Hi guys, and welcome to this week’s episode of African VC/ Startup News – the podcast! This is episode 1! 

Today I’ll share a conversation I had with the team at Get Thread – Gino and Olen Sterling and Nic Manshon.

Get Thread is a Cape Town based clothing brand that focuses on collaboration. They partner with leading artists and creatives in South Africa to produce high-quality, limited-edition garments. Each garment is an expression of the artist’s creativity and passion. 

Check out their website and social media sites here:

* Instagram

In the episode we cover the following topics:

* What each person does at Get Thread

* What Get Thread is all about

* The high and low points in their journey with Get Thread

* What they would do with a $100k investment

I did not have sufficient time to edit the conversation, but I hope you still enjoy the discussion! If you have any comments, suggestions or questions you can email me dm.newsemail@gmail.com.

See ya!
