Can Bankers Make Good Entrepreneurs?

No one is born, but rather becomes an entrepreneur. 


Doing a startup is counterintuitive - it's not something you learn at school and it goes against all established beliefs. 

It all comes down to one thing: MINDSET.


Not only do you need to feel comfortable with risk, you need to embrace it. You have to think in binary mode: go/no go. No time for questioning.Everything you've ever learned, you'll have to forget.


Ultimately, it's within anyone's reach to get the right mindset to innovate in their field. 
So bankers, why try to predict the future when you can build it? ;)


Come hear Younès Rharbaoui, Deal-Flow Manager @TheFamily, share his insights on how an entrepreneur thinks and how you can apply it to your own projects.
