Big Five is a term used to describe the five most difficult animals to hunt in Africa. The five include the African Elephant, Black Rhinoceros, Cape Buffalo, Lion, and the Leopard. These animals are known to be difficult and extremely dangerous to hunt. Today I am guiding you through a ruthless startup safari of South Africa if we are lucky we will see all five of these dangerous and beautiful beasts.

The African Elephants

The African Elephant is an enormous animal with thick hairless skin and long deadly tusks. These animals live extraordinarily long lives and grace is passed down through the generations.

The Investors

The investors of Cape Town tend to be wealthy families that have had money for generations and most of them are held up in whats commonly called the Stellenbosch mafia. These old money aristocrats find it difficult to invest their money in risky endeavors such as startups, and instead prefer to invest their money in solid revenue generating ventures. This makes finding local capital as a startup extremely difficult unless you have already proven profitability. Which is something that companies like Uber, and WhatsApp still cannot do.
