Cape Town Business Pulse
- Culture Slightly more relaxed than Jo'burg but professional. Creative and tech-focused.
- Lunch Break 1:00 PM - 2:00 PM.
- Pro Tip Reach out between 9:30 AM and 12:00 PM. Capetonians value their quality of life, so business often has a slightly more relaxed pace than in Johannesburg. Relationship building is important. Be mindful of potential "Load Shedding" (power outages) affecting connectivity.
Seattle Business Pulse
- Culture Tech-heavy, casual, and values innovation and nature.
- Lunch Break 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM.
- Pro Tip The "sweet spot" is 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM. Expect a casual professional environment (lots of tech-casual wear). Networking often happens over coffee; many locals are flexible with virtual meeting times but value their time in nature, so avoid late evening or weekend intrusions.
