The Art of the Side Hustle: How to Get Started and Keep Going
So, you’ve got an idea and the motivation, but where do you start? Hear from a panel of alumni founders who started businesses from scratch in a candid discussion that goes beyond the questions AI can answer.
You’ll learn how to get started, what launching a side-hustle while working full time looks like, learning through failure and the real, raw stories of alumni who have built something from nothing.
With a Q&A session, this is your chance to learn directly from the people on the ground who are building businesses across a range of industries.
