About

Justin is a 26-year old international entrepreneur and investor from Cape Town, South Africa. He is founder, CEO, director, advisor, or investor to numerous companies, mostly in the technology sector.

Since leaving high-school early, and subsequently setting about founding his first startup at age 18, Justin has been involved in entrepreneurial endeavours. He is now the co-founder and CEO of diversified investment holding company 4D Innovations Group (4DI Group), which manages all joint business interests with long time partner Erik van Vlaanderen, including the likes of ESET Southern Africa and FireID.

Deepening their involvement in the venture investing space after seeing the emergence of many other passionate entrepreneurs struggling to find the support they needed, Justin and Erik were recently co-founders of 4Di Capital, a new early-stage “nurture capital” investment company that seeks to attract and invest foreign capital in IP opportunities emerging in South Africa.

As co-founder of the Silicon Cape Initiative, Justin fully believes in South Africa’s potential as a global technology innovation hub.
