Demystifying Entrepreneurial Opportunities
We are excited to offer this one-day workshop in partnership with London Business School to give you a learning opportunity with some of the UK's leading voices in entrepreneurship and innovation.
Who should attend
This workshop is for Female Founders Rise members in the early stages of building their company - Early stage businesses with some traction/ revenue but less than £300K yearly revenue or less than £300K in funding.
Why attend
The “Uncovering Entrepreneurial Opportunities” workshop will explore two key topics pertinent to uncovering and assessing entrepreneurial opportunities that have the potential to grow.
As famed venture capital investor Bill Egan once said, “If you are fundamentally in a lousy business, you won’t get the kind of results you would in a good business. All businesses aren’t created equal.”
You will return to your business with a new set of tools and a targeted, prioritized action plan in hand, ready for implementation in your own business. And a whole load of new connections to join you on your entrepreneurship journey.
