Ready, Set, Go Furthr
The Starting Point for Early-Stage Founders
Ready, Set, Go Furthr is an energising, hands-on workshop designed for people at the very beginning of their entrepreneurial journey.
Whether you have a new idea, an early concept, or simply the ambition to explore entrepreneurship, this session will help you build confidence, shape your thinking, and understand what it really takes to move from idea to action.
This practical, supportive workshop introduces the foundations of entrepreneurship through creative thinking, human-centered design, business modelling, and early-stage validation, all in a safe environment where uncertainty is expected and learning happens through doing.
