About Entrepreneurs Society (EntSoc)
Who are York Entrepreneurs?
York Entrepreneurs Society exists to promote entrepreneurial thinking and inspire people to achieve their business dreams. At York Entrepreneurs Society, we aim to teach, support and connect with student start-ups. We do this through our events, experience and networks. It doesn’t matter whether you only have a vague interest, a business idea or an already running business; we can help you develop further and turn your dreams into reality.
What is your plan for this year?
Our committee at the York Entrepreneurs Society has been hard at work crafting a bespoke offer for society members this year. The best part? Whether you are just starting out, or have made progress on your business idea(s) already, we have something for everyone. Here at York Entrepreneurs Society, we believe in you.
I am interested in turning my business idea(s) into reality. What can you do for me?
We are very proud to announce our membership package for this year. Make sure to have a read and subscribe as a member so you don’t miss out!
Our membership package:
- Gain FREE entry to our Q&A panel events featuring a range of entrepreneurs. Learn from students realising their business dreams here at York and learned professionals from the wider business community. If you’re interested in starting a business, what could be better than learning from those who have actually done it? Invites will be sent to members either virtually or in person prior to the event, depending on current guidelines. Panel events will centre around either a given topic (how to start a business), style of business (for-profit, not-for-profit/social enterprise etc.) or industry.
