If you've ever thought about starting a business, working freelance, or joining a startup - you're not alone. From side hustles to scale ups, more and more students like you are considering jumping into the world of entrepreneurship.
It can be a super exciting but also super scary leap, and that's what this event is about - giving you the insights into starting a business, and taking you through the support available to you as a Birkbeck student.
We'll also be joined by a phenomenal guest speaker, Benjamin Western, Co-Founder of Showing Up and a Serial Social Entrepreneur, who will take you through a captivating TEDx style talk focused on the power of Curiosity as an Entrepreneur.
In this highly engaging and interactive talk, Benjamin will demonstrate how to cultivate the three forms of curiosity that drive exceptional entrepreneurship. You’ll explore how curiosity shapes your thinking process, fuels your research, strengthens customer engagement, and underpins design thinking itself.
By the end of the session, you’ll understand how to focus on designing the right solutions for the correct problems, and how curiosity can help you create something the world genuinely needs.
During this event you will also have the opportunity to:
- Meet likeminded peers
