How Founders Built Careers Without the Traditional Path

About the Webinar

Let's be honest. The "safe" career path isn't feeling very safe right now.

Entry-level job postings have dropped 29% since 2024. Internships are competitive. The corporate ladder has a waitlist. And somewhere between your third LinkedIn rejection and your fifth "we went with someone with more experience" email, you start wondering, is this the only way?
It's not.
While the rest of us were updating our CVs, a wave of young founders quietly skipped the queue entirely. This April 11th, we're bringing them to interact with you. Join us for a live panel where founders share the real stories — the unconventional moves, the things that almost didn't work, and the frameworks they'd hand to their younger selves.
