TAKING OFF FROM UNIVERSITY

“If a student starts his or her own business while still completing their studies at university, they will be able ‘ahead of the game’ in the sense that it allows for the student to learn the fundamentals of such a wide range of professional and soft skills that one would typically only be able to achieve through a “traditional” work route, only years later.”

“Getting feedback on an idea or progression and consider them in a critical way is crucial for an early stage startup. All the further steps can be built upon this information. The most efficient opportunity for this is attending startup events, meet other startups and pitch the ideas to professionals.” –

“If your determination to turning an idea into reality is unshakeable, it is substantial to share it with others. Getting stuck in others’ minds helps you to climb up the hill. A well-organized startup event is a right place and time for doing it. “
