From Idea to Impact: Entrepreneurs Share Their Journey

What does it really take to turn an idea into a thriving business—especially in the education space? This candid panel brings together entrepreneurs who have navigated the highs and lows of launching and growing their ventures. This session will provide a behind-the-scenes look at the entrepreneurial journey, including the inspiration behind their businesses and how they identified gaps in the market, the biggest obstacles they faced and the creative ways they overcame them, how they secured their first customers, investors, or grant funding, lessons they wish they had known when they started and the role of community, mentorship, and networks in their success.
