Think Like an Entrepreneur

Think Like an Entrepreneur - Skills to Business brings together participants in Shebin El Kom for a practical afternoon of entrepreneurship learning, peer exchange and community connection. The day is structured around two complementary activities for different stages of the entrepreneurial journey.

1:00 PM–3:00 PM  |  Think Like an Entrepreneur 

The session introduces entrepreneurship without assuming participants already have ideas or startup experience. Students will explore problems, customers, opportunities and the difference between having an idea and building something people actually need. Participants leave with a simple framework they can use to explore their first entrepreneurial idea.

3:30 PM–5:30 PM  |  Make It a Business

Participants will examine how skills can be packaged into clearer services or products, how customer segments differ and how pricing, repeatability and positioning affect growth. The objective is not necessarily to turn every freelancer into a startup founder, but to introduce entrepreneurial thinking that can create more sustainable independent businesses.

Networking and closing connect participants across both activities. Attendees should leave with stronger local connections, clearer next steps and practical ideas they can continue testing after GEW.
