BigGuy Posted March 29, 2012 Share It is more likely at least 500 of the 600 teams paying for entry. For the priviledged few there are some nice freebies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rock Posted March 29, 2012 Share h's always made no bones about it being a business, good for him, at least he's not shouting "charity" left right and centre and then raking in big 'operating expenses' into a swiss bank account.......

Stevief Posted March 29, 2012 Share I find it amazing that everyone is interested in what he makes. Its got sweet F all to do with any of you. What he makes is his business he isnt a politician or a JSE listed executive that has to account for his lifestyle. He had an idea, he made it happen, he gets rewarded just like any other entrepreneur. He sells a product/service that people can purchase or not, just like every other business. He deserves every cent he makes you think its easy pulling off an event of this magnitude. Please anyone who "wants to know what he makes do tell us what YOU make and how u make it?......hmmmmm thought so, Pants Boy, Fatboy85, TheV and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was willing to rock up, help, soak up the atmosphere etc. So reading up, you have to pay R3,500, attend workshops, etc. No thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I reckon he's making significantly more than that. Good for him though. He has a highly desirable product. And he's the only one selling it.

Lucky Luke. Posted March 29, 2012 Share The epic is interesting to me as someone who trades on user-experience. Most of my work is centred around experience design - and making the customer experience as painless as possible. For Kevin the more pain involved in getting from point A to point B the more cash people throw at him. Genius b-unit 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ccc2 Posted March 29, 2012 Share That is not quite how it works.There are costs and there is income of which sponsorships form a partYou balance the books and make sure you make a profit Normal business practice profit / loss does it really matter (in the cape epics case).......cash flow is the heart beat and he gets his cash way upfront.

outoftowner Posted March 29, 2012 Share I don't care how much the organizers put in their pocket.What I have seen is that it's superbly run,and if my body and wallet will allow it,I will seriously consider entering.Some of the terrain is frightening,and the climbs never ending.So hats off to all the organizers-Great event, you all deserve a medal. The only fly in the ointment- more television coverage please! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
