What is it?
Join us in the Abertay cyberQuarter for a chance to watch and discuss some popular TED talks about how to be a successful startup founder.
It'll be a great chance to network with other founders, learn from each other's experiences, and talk about what advice or ideas you've found useful in your startup journey so far.
What can I expect?
We'll be watching 4 short talks with a break in between and afterwards to grabs some drinks and snacks and discuss what you found helpful or relevant and discuss other advice you've received over the years.
The talks will not just be on startup-specific advice but also broader topics like handling stress and vulnerability in business and the spread of ideas in society.
Snacks and non-alcoholic drinks will be available throughout.
When and where is it taking place?
We'll be using the small screening room on the third floor of the Abertay cyberQuarter to watch the talks together and have discussion sessions. The cyberQuarter is located at 1-3 Bell St, Dundee, DD1 1LH.
Who will be there?
This event is open to Techscaler members and other tech startup founders in Dundee and Tayside.
This event is organised by CodeBase and Techscaler and in addition to founders, you will also have the opportunity to chat with the CodeBase team and find out more about how CodeBase and Techscaler can support you.
What is a tech startup founder?
A tech startup founder is someone who has the ambition to create a product or offering with technology at it's core, whether you are pre-startup or have been established for years. All we ask is that you are actively working on a tech product concept and could benefit from spending an evening with other like-minded founders in the area.
