Becoming an entrepreneur - the bravery to start your own venture
Antler and Talent Garden invite you to a chat about the decision of becoming an entrepreneur in the midst of your career and leaving corporate life behind. A new venture begins with taking the first steps into building something of your own, having the courage to jump into it and letting go of the security of being an employee.
Join us for an exciting panel discussion with four entrepreneurs from the Antler and Talent Garden network, and listen to their stories of when and why they decided to start building their own ventures.
What made the entrepreneurs take the leap?
What do they miss from their previous careers?
What makes being an entrepreneur worth it?
And much more.
Listen to four exciting entrepreneurial stories, get inspired by their motivation to start their own ventures and interact with other entrepreneurs during the networking mingle afterwards.
