UT Young Alumni Network: The story behind Gitlab

With your brand new UT diploma in your hand the world is at your feet. It’s time for your first job to start your career! Or perhaps you’ve already been employed for a couple of years and are looking for a new challenge. To help you succeed in your job hunt you could use some tips & tricks and a larger network. We get that since we as board of the UT Young Alumni Network are also always looking for greener pastures.

This is why we founded the UT Young Alumni Network for alumni under the age of 35. A platform for and by alumni, supporting, empowering and inspiring professional development and help with (the first) challenging steps of the corporate world. We organize lectures, workshops, networking events and other activities. All these activities are focused around networking, your career, personal growth and of course enjoyment.

On Tuesday July 18th  our second event will take place and will focus on entrepreneurship. At the Rabobank headquarters in Utrecht UT alumnus Sid Sijbrandij will be interviewed about his start-up: Gitlab. Last year they managed to receive 20 million dollar and move their entire operation to Silicon Valley. Come listen to his story and learn some valuable tips for entrepreneurs.
