FAQ's
Do I need to attend all sessions?
Startup Basics is a Cohort programme, which means we encourage participants to attend all 5 workshops to get the most benefit. However, you are welcome to pick and mix sessions that are most relevant to you. The 5 workshops are 2-hours long and for digital learners, we deliver an online version during the second semester.
What if I have missed some of the sessions? Will you be running the Startup Basics programme again?
We will be running the next cohort of Startup Basics starting on the 30th of October. If you are unable to join us for this cohort, and would like to join the next run, you can register your interest here.
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.
