Whether you have a business idea and don’t know what to do next or you are completely new to the idea of entrepreneurship, being a post-secondary student and simultaneously an entrepreneur can be quite challenging at times.

We invite you to join us for an engaging panel featuring The BRIDGE’s New Venture Program (NVP) students who have successfully taken their business idea and turned it into a venture. You will hear diverse perspectives on the best approaches to balance academics while starting a venture. This will be a candid discussion where the panelists will share advice and their experience about their journeys through the New Venture Program at The BRIDGE.

Moderated by Professor Bill McConkey, Academic Director and Associate Professor, the live panel discussion and Q&A will entail anecdotes on how these students developed their idea, started their journey with the NVP, how The BRIDGE has helped them advance in their entrepreneurial journeys, and how they managed to find balance while mitigating potential risks with their ventures.
