Neurodiverse Founders: dynamic startup stories
Wednesday, 1 March, from 5:30pm until 7:30pm, in-person, City Campus.
Do you have millions of ideas but get overwhelmed trying to do too much? Do you have a passion that could lead to a great freelance business, social enterprise or startup but feel frozen and hesitant to unlock your brilliance? Then join us and meet our line-up of guest speakers who understand your experience and will share their tips on starting your journey to doing something that you really care about.
Meet five local founders
During this interactive panel event, hosted in collaboration with The Connection Hub, you will have the chance to meet five, local founders who identify as being neurodiverse. The panellists will all reflect on their entrepreneurial journeys to date, and will share practical tips on how you can develop a compelling vision for your startup or freelance business.
Open to all
This event is for everyone – however you identify – and is for anyone who wants to learn from inspirational founders (including a social media consultant, a videographer and visual storyteller, a social entrepreneur, and a business coach) who have all successfully started up and grown a flourishing, small business.
