About this event

Do you have a side hustle? Do you want to turn it into a full-time career?

For many entrepreneurs, side hustles are the first step but turning your passion into a fully-fledged startup can be a challenging journey. The process isn't straightforward and you can encounter many twists and turns.

That's why Draper Startup House, HEX and Y Suites are partnering to host a panel of successful founders about their experience taking their side hustle, turning it into their real hustles and then raising a seed round on the 1st of February at 6pm.

Join us as we dive into conversations around how to go from side hustle to seed round with Jeanette Cheah (Co-Founder & CEO of HEX), Cara Davies (Co-Founder & CEO of Steppen), Julia Kay (Co-Founder & Co-CEO of Great Wrap) and Josh Sharma (Head of Labs at Luna).

These panellists once worked full-time and built their companies on the side but have now successfully transitioned these businesses into their main hustle. Learn from their experiences and insights as they share their tips and tricks for taking your business to the next level and raising your first round of funding. There will be a chance for you to ask questions directly to our speakers during our Q&A.

So come along, meet like-minded founders and learn the secrets to turning your side-hustle into your full-time job!
