Entrepreneurs for entrepeneurs
The UT Espresso Link is an online hub designed to connect entrepreneurial alumni, students, and faculty of the University of Twente. It offers participants the chance to engage in short, impactful conversations (hence "Espresso Link") with experienced UT alumni who are eager to share their insights and expertise. Whether you're seeking advice, feedback, or simply want to expand your network, the UT Espresso Link is the place to make those connections.
What is the Goal?
The Espresso Link is a platform that operates in two ways:
- For UT Entrepreneurs: Alumni, students, and faculty have the chance to connect with other entrepreneurial minds within the UT community.
- For UT Alumni: Entrepreneurial alumni who want to give back to the UT community can share their insights and connect with like-minded individuals in a simple, casual, and informal way.
This creates a vibrant, supportive network that benefits everyone involved.
What Can You Expect?
The conversations can cover a wide range of topics. Whether you're a young entrepreneur with a specific question, looking to refine a business idea, or seeking advice on launching a startup, the Espresso Link is here to help. We encourage participating alumni and founders to offer guidance, share their experiences, and provide practical tools from their professional journey. It’s a fantastic way for alumni to support fellow ambitious entrepreneurs in building successful ventures.
