From Side Hustle to Startup: Testing Your Idea Before Quiting Your Job
Thinking about leaving your job to launch your own startup but not sure how to navigate this transition?
Let's make a plan together. In this interactive meetup, we'll cover all of the most important topics - and your struggles - one by one.
Two early-stage female founders will join Darya Kamkalova, founder of Venturing Women, for a raw, no-sugar-coating conversation with real-life experiences and hands-on advice.
What to Expect:
How to validate your business idea before quitting your job
Strategies to test demand and get your first customers
Managing time, energy, and priorities while balancing a job and a side hustle
Knowing when it’s the right time to go full-time on your startup
Real stories from founders who successfully made the transition
Structured conversation covering all stages of the transition, plus a Q&A
No fluff or abstract advice 'just do it'.
🚨 After this talk, you may decide that building a tech business/startup is not for you. Or you may step into this transition with open eyes and will be much better prepared to navigate it.
