The wishful thinking and reality of startup life – Where’s the sweet spot?

Jul 1, 2019, 10:30 AM – 1:30 PM

Startup founders are often the ones that take care of everything and everyone else but themselves. We usually look up to those who work hard and achieve massive success, but wonder less where is the actual sweet spot between a wishful startup life and the real version of it. Startup Grind Chengdu #31 is taking the startup community to a Mercedes truck in the heart of this “Wanghong” city.

About this event

Startup founders are often the ones that take care of everything and everyone else but themselves. We usually look up to those who work hard and achieve massive success, but wonder less where is the actual sweet spot between a wishful startup life and the real version of it. Startup Grind Chengdu #31 is taking the startup community to a Mercedes truck in the heart of this “Wanghong” city. 

We handover the steering wheel to the Lab 1886 chief, a local incubator leader, and a Unicorn head. Where do these players in the ecosystem believe startup life should lead to, how could they facilitate that to happen? Adjust your pace and get on this ride with us.

This round table discussion will be perfect for:

-Entrepreneurs that would like to be exposed to different entrepreneur lifestyles.

-People thinking about launching their company and would like to know what it’s like to be an entrepreneur.

-Students who are interested in entrepreneurship.
