- The Designlab - 19.45-21.30 (doors open & coffee from 19.15 – closing drink)
-> Please NOTE, in the evening you enter the Designlab only via their own entrance at the right back side (seen from the Hengelosestraat) of the Gallery building. For car parking we suggest you use P3 at the UT, as Designlab only has a few parkingspots. There is a bus stop close to this entrance. The door is on the short side of the building and is clearly marked Designlab.
Students and other people often have this stereotypical image of what life is like for an entrepreneur (working 24/7), what you need to have in place before you can start a business (a college degree, finance, …) or what a successful company looks like (high-tech, Facebook potential, …). Yet it can be so different, if you let go of these views and become fearless.
Paula Englis shares the surprising stories of five real-life cases, to demonstrate that work-life balance can be tailor-made, that you can start before you graduate-whatever comes first, and funding can be on your terms with your control if you are patient.
