FAQ's

Do I need to attend all sessions?

Startup Basics is a Cohort programme, which means we encourage participants to attend all 6 workshops to get the most benefit. However, you are welcome to pick and mix sessions that are most relevant to you. The 6 workshops are 2-hours long online.

What if I have missed some of the sessions? Will you be running the Startup Basics programme again?

We run this session every second semester, so you can be on the lookout for the next one in 2025.

Do you need a business idea already?

No! We've built Startup Basics to be suitable for all audiences. If you already have a business idea, you will be able to use the activities to turbocharge your development. Otherwise, if you don't have a business idea, you can pick a "simulated business" and learn the fundamentals so you're ready to go when you find your business idea.
