Majulah Abroad Founders Series: The Hard Truth of Entrepreneurship
Interested in Entrepreneurship? Curious what it actually takes to build a company — the hard truths only founders who've lived it can tell you?
Majulah Abroad is kicking off our Founders Series, bringing together Singapore-based founders who've achieved commendable results both locally and at a global scale.
What you'll walk away with:
How to go from 0 to 1 — turning an idea into a real company
Managing and scaling a team as the company grows
Finding product-market fit
The hard truths of entrepreneurship no one tells you until you're in it
What it actually takes to be a founder — beyond the highlight reel
Whether you're seriously considering starting something of your own, curious about how startups navigate different global markets, or just weighing startup life vs. the corporate track — this session is built for you.
Refreshments would be provided. Join us for real networking time with like-minded student entrepreneurs and the founders themselves!
Please note that registration is only confirmed after you receive a confirmation email from us.
