Many PhDs exploring their career options wonder whether entrepreneurship could be the right path. You’ve spent years developing deep expertise, so it’s natural to ask whether that knowledge could be the foundation of a business.
But starting a business requires the same focused strategy as a job search. Beyond your area of expertise, you’ll need to understand the legal, financial, and operational realities of running a business: how to structure it, how to fund it, how to find clients, and how to sustain it.
Join the Beyond Prof team for this webinar where we’ll provide a clear and honest overview of what it takes to start a business as a PhD — so you can make an informed decision about whether entrepreneurship is an option for you.
This webinar is designed for doctoral students, PhDs, and postdocs from all academic disciplines who are wondering:
- What does it realistically take to start and run a business?
- What legal, financial, and operational factors do I need to consider?
- How do I evaluate whether entrepreneurship is the right path for me — or whether I should focus on other opportunities?
The webinar will be held via Zoom webinar and will be recorded. Advanced registration is required.
