Come and hear from entrepreneurs and founders who will share their startup journeys and top tips as part of our regular ‘Inspire Me’ online sessions.
It is a fantastic opportunity to learn from others, ask questions directly to someone who has been there and make valuable connections.
Our Inspire Me sessions aim to motivate and inspire you by showcasing our speakers' startup journeys and experiences. There will be time at the end for any questions you may want to ask.
These sessions are aimed at all students and recent graduates* regardless of if you have a current startup (if you do, even better). Not all startup journeys are easy and during the series our speakers will talk about the highs and lows, overcoming challenges and offer their top tips based on what they have learnt so far. The core purpose of the Inspire Me sessions is to ignite motivation, positivity and personal growth.
