"The most challenging part of being a founder is that you just have to figure out certain things on your own—without the necessary competence or experience. You also have to manage your time and priorities in the most effective way to deliver on transversal and often unrelated tasks and milestones. It can also be challenging to balance your personal life," says Iselin.
Iselin will talk about her startup and share details about her journey in building a successful company. She will also help answer some of your questions during the Q&A session:
- How to become an entrepreneur?
- How to validate my idea?
- How to fund my idea?
- How to find help to bring my idea to life?
- Venture Kick (up to 150K pre-seed capital for business development)
- InnoBooster (up to 150k grant to accelerate market entry)
- First Ventures (financial support and tailored coaching program for University of Applied Science students)
