I just completed my very first start-up competition! It was an amazing experience as I got to work with a very diverse cohort. In my group, I had the honor of working alongside people from India, Africa, and Turkey. Thanks to this program, not only has my network expanded but my knowledge in entrepreneurial concepts has seen tremendous growth as well.
Every workshop held throughout the course of these six weeks was more informative than the previous, and each challenged a new skill. Hearing from experts in the field was definitely inspiring and encouraging as we certainly faced difficulties coming up with a start-up. The challenges were not only limited to creative blocks, but the differences in time zones, internet connection problems, and the various schedules to account for. However, I am pleased to say that, despite all the challenges, we came out the other side stronger and wiser.
Nothing makes me prouder than having taken part in this challenge and pushing my knowledge and abilities to a whole new level and what's more, tackling a social issue in the process.
