In under six weeks, he launched a premium Cape Brandy brand, co-founded with 15 rugby legends, and built it into the country's highest-rated brandy. But the real story isn't the accolades, it's the relentless founder tenacity behind them.South Africa consistently produces some of the world's finest brandy, yet remains a massive importer of international spirits. Rob decided to change that. Avante Brandy isn't just a product, it's a mission: to take Cape Brandy to the world and prove what's possible when South African entrepreneurs back themselves completely.Join us for an intimate evening where Rob unpacks the unfiltered journey, the setbacks, the pivots, the bold bets, and the purpose that keeps driving him forward. Then ask him anything.This event is for Cape Town founders who've already built something real and are ready to take it further.
