BEYOND STARTING UP
Entrepreneurship is so much more than starting a business. It’s a mindset that leads you to constantly question the status quo and search for better ways to do things. It’s a bold way of living that inevitably results in positive impact and innovation. With this mindset in place, you’re bound to disrupt, no matter the role, company, or industry you’re in.

COMBINE YOUR PASSION WITH YOUR TALENT
With an entrepreneurial mindset, everyone wins. This way of thinking and behaving allows you to find and live at the intersection of what you love, what you’re good at, and what the world needs, leaving you with a truly fulfilling career journey.
On a personal level, it gives you the autonomy to pursue your vision and turn your ideas into reality. It empower your personal growth by allowing you to develop resilience, confidence, and a positive attitude.
On a professional level, this mindset encourages you to innovate and create solutions to existing problems or identify untapped opportunities, acquire new skills, expand your knowledge, learn to leverage the collective knowledge and resources.
And on a societal level, entrepreneurship allows you to create products or services that improve people’s lives and/or contribute to social causes. It also fosters innovation, creates jobs, and promotes diversity – evening the playing field and amplifying marginalized voices.
WHO CAN BE AN ENTREPRENEUR?
Entrepreneurship isn’t a homogeneous experience – it can look like:
- Starting your own company
- Innovating within a long-established organization
- Being a key member of a new startup team
- Using your resources to invest in others
- Acting as a teacher/mentor for other entrepreneurs
What all of the players in this ecosystem have in common is the drive, creativity, and outside-the-box thinking that define entrepreneurship.
