The path to entrepreneurship requires practical dedication, but a crucial step is the exchange of experiences and networking. At the end of November, Academic Working Capital (AWC) successfully held Workshop Class, a landmark event that brought together participants and guest speakers in an immersive environment of innovation and entrepreneurship. The aim was to inspire the groups with the success stories shared and prepare them for Workshop II, scheduled to take place virtually in January.
During the event, three speakers shared their journeys in entrepreneurship, offering valuable insights to the Work Class participants. Thiago Melo, from E-Shows Startup, brought innovation and creativity to the world of online events. Raquel Schramm, from Startup Entrega Ali, shared transformative experiences in the delivery area and how she turned challenges into opportunities. Lucas Robs, from Startup Pet Walk, which is the result of the AWC program in 2022, told his story involving a mixture of passion and business.
The presence of the guests made the meeting a rich and inspiring experience for all the participants, who are now preparing for Workshop II, scheduled for January 20 and 21.
