The Secret Sauce of Great Entrepreneurs // Above & Beyond Hangout #45
What makes a great entrepreneur? Beyond a brilliant idea, success often comes down to mindset, resilience, and knowing the dos and don’ts of building a startup. In this Hangout, we’ll explore the skills and approaches that can make the difference between stumbling and thriving. As with our Road 2 Web Summit program, this Hangout is designed to give founders practical insights they can put to work right away. Together with voices from investment, incubation, and the ecosystem, we’ll look at practical tools, tips, and lessons learned — from managing uncertainty and building the right team, to engaging investors and avoiding common pitfalls. A conversation for founders at any stage who want to sharpen their entrepreneurial edge.
