The value of community

A community is a unified body of people with a common characteristic living together within a larger society.

🤔 Questions: students undertaking their entrepreneurial projects often face the same questions, concerns or challenges. The multitude of different challenges faced by entrepreneurs are sometimes out of its scope or have already been faced by peers having an easy answer for you.

👀 Inputs: nobody can know all aspects of a field in a constantly evolving world. Insights from a neutral point of view, gives you an external view of what could be done differently. When head down in your project you might miss the right opportunity just next to you.

😔 Motivation: entrepreneurship is a long and hard path. Feeling lonely working on your project looking for the boost is hard when faced to mental well-being, study pressure or just life pressure.

Our active as well as motivated community enables you to exchange with your peers to find answers, motivation and get insights for your project.


Requirements to be in the community

Simple and straight forward, you must be Bachelor, Master or PhD student at EPFL or UNIL as well as motivated and active.

Should a person not be active anymore, she/he will be removed from the community. We understand that your field of interests change but for the people wanting to benefit the community it is necessary to be active.

Our definition of active: responsive and attending some of the social events. We do not expect you to always write something in the communication channels but that when someone has a question that you try to help this person as much as you can.
