30 student entrepreneurs started at Start Up Campus Haarlem
Over the coming months, more than 30 students from six different locations and more than fifteen different study programmes will be working on their own businesses at Start Up Campus Haarlem (SUCH). Megan: ‘The programme tied in perfectly with what I was working on at the time. It was very educational and inspiring, but also extremely motivating. Brainstorming good ideas with other entrepreneurs and motivating each other to get started.’
SUCH is part of Inholland University of Applied Sciences and offers programmes alongside education. The students who participate consciously choose to invest in their own development as entrepreneurs and are often supported by their teachers. ‘We have a lot of different entrepreneurs together this semester. You can immediately see new collaborations emerging. That's so wonderful!’ – says SUCH community manager Jorien Stoop.
Daan: ‘Great atmosphere, I learned a lot from the speakers who came to share their stories. The trainer was excellent and often contributed new ideas, and communication was clear and effective. I was also very happy with the composition of the group, which meant I learned a lot from my fellow SUCH students.’
This semester, the programme has been refreshed. There is a Start and a Growth programme. In the Start programme, Dutch and international students work together. In the Growth programme, students who already have paying customers work together.
MEET SUCH
‘We continue to do our best to introduce new people to Start Up Campus Haarlem. For example, a number of workshops have been made public through the MEET SUCH series. This allows students who are not yet ready to participate in a programme to still work on their entrepreneurial skills with us.’
The students will work with expert trainers in inspiring workshops, events, peer coaching and, above all, expanding their network. Lucia: ‘I really liked the atmosphere at SUCH. It has an open atmosphere, which makes it very accessible. The team behind SUCH is also very nice and open.’
In the coming months, SUCH will be sharing stories from entrepreneurial students, and you can follow us on Instagram and LinkedIn.
