Online conference

Most students in business school will learn to do SWOT analysis or determine the break-even point for a specific product. They will also learn that to start a company you have to think outside the box, conquer your fears and venture into the unknown. But what most students won’t do is actually go out there and start their own business. And that may be because it’s really hard to go independent. Between formulating a coherent plan, finding the right people to work with or sourcing your seed capital, launching a startup is very long and tedious path. And that’s not all, after only five years, the probability of survival drops to less than 50%. All these factors explain why most students will try but not succeed.

Fortunately, today, we have a success story for you. Two young entrepreneurs from Fribourg will present their startup and talk about the real-life challenges of building your business
