## What Cape Town-based is

Cape Town-based is your city, in your pocket. Cape Town's own identity layer — people, places, and events, all on Cape Town's domain.

Everyone who lives in Cape Town can claim a handle at capetown-based.com/yourname: a permanent page on the city's domain that shows who you are here, the places you actually go, and the events you are attending. It is the address you put in your Instagram bio when you want to say you are in the city, not passing through.

Four things:

1. Identity — claim capetown-based.com/yourname. Your permanent address in Cape Town. Your photo, bio, the places you go, the events you attend.
2. Places — the Cape Town spots worth knowing. Venues, cafés, studios, galleries. Each has its own page. Save them, share them, get perks.
3. Events — everything happening in Cape Town. Free events, ticketed shows, community gatherings. Organisers list and sell tickets directly, attendees discover and RSVP.
4. Wallet — the member's home base. Saved events, saved places, tickets, and perks at local venues.

Browsing is free, no account needed. A handle at capetown-based.com/yourname is $9/month or $90/year.

The first 100 members in Cape Town pay $1/month permanently and are invited to the Cape Town launch dinner.
