Can I build a business if I'm a creative?

Want to be the next Jeff Bezos? Great, neither do we! Join us in this workshop as we explore how to bring your business idea to life…

Airbnb. Canva. Pinterest. These are a few of the global startups which were founded by people with arts, design, and architecture backgrounds.

These founders didn’t find their success by completing MBAs, but by thinking like creatives. And in this workshop, you’ll learn how to as well!

Join us as we practice brainstorming (and pitching) ideas that have no business in any business school. This session will help you draw inspiration from the zaniest combos; think “dating apps and origami”, or “artificial intelligence and disposable coffee cups”.

Once your wacky ideas are ready, our judgment-free presentations will see you pitch them as only an artist can. Interpretive dance? Beat poetry? Abstract sketch? Nothing is off the table. In fact, the more unconventional, the better.

In short, if you want to learn how to sell up without selling out, this is the workshop for you. Give us an hour, and we’ll give you the certainty that creatives can turn ANY idea into a business.
