Inspiring launch START UP STORIES
'This is the proof that at Inholland there is space for entrepreneurship as well as new initiatives.' Wrote one of the visitors to the launch party of Start Up Campus Haarlem on LinkedIn. Last Thursday, March 28, SUCH launched the very first edition of the magazine START UP STORIES in a packed Theater de Liefde. A place buzzing with the entrepreneurial energy of student-entrepreneurs, Inholland colleagues and external partners.
Presentation first magazine START UP STORIES
During the festive event member of the Executive Board (CvB) of Inholland University of Applied Sciences Mieke van den Berg and Karin van Broekhuizen (manager external relations of Inholland Haarlem) received the first magazine from entertainment duo Kenneth and Andor. A great moment, also for Mieke: "Through Start Up Campus Haarlem we learn and strengthen each other in entrepreneurship. Whether you are a budding entrepreneur, your entrepreneurship is already well underway, you are still in doubt whether you want to become an entrepreneur. Entrepreneurship always comes in handy in every organization!
The magazine is printed in limited edition but is available digitally to everyone through SUCH's website.
Building a relevant and warm network
After the first magazine was handed over, the team of SUCH as well as all the entrepreneurs from the magazine were invited on stage and put in the spotlight. 'What a special moment to see everyone together and with such a beautiful magazine in their hands. That we can bring so many different entrepreneurs together and empower each other is really impressive. We should be very proud of that. Building a relevant and warm network starts here and now. Everyone is going to enjoy that for a long time after today.' said Jorien Stoop - Community manager of Start Up Campus Haarlem.
Typical SUCH
The theater was transformed into an extended networking event with music by Danley (ed. Dylan Remeeus, student Creative Business Rotterdam) and on stage Rudy Nicola appeared who captured the entrepreneurs' stories via a podcast. Rudy Nicola: "It is hugely inspiring to speak with young entrepreneurs. Live podcasting during a networking reception was another new experience for me. But that's typical SUCH! They always try something new there and you learn from that again.
Added value studying at Inholland
The charming theater transformed into an inspiring networking event for young entrepreneurs. The fact that starting a business alongside your studies is not so crazy was evident from the high turnout. 'That so many students from so many different programs, backgrounds and locations are participating at SUCH makes the concept so unique. This is really an added value of studying at Inholland' according to Iryna M'yakush, International Creative Business student of Inholland Haarlem. The entire event was carried by the former participants from within the SUCH program itself. From the presentation to the podcast host, photographer and DJ.
Inholland offers a place for all its students to work on starting or growing their own business. The students, from different locations and programs, come together in Haarlem and follow a five-month entrepreneurial program alongside their studies. Every year over 80 startups enroll on this adventure. Regularly online stories are published about these entrepreneurs and these are now bundled in a beautiful magazine called START UP STORIES.
