“Maybe we should just give this little seed a chance to grow,” Natalia Tapia, Co-Founder of Graduated

Being in the business development phase, when you’re pumping out content, meeting people and having conversations just to have them is such a confusing time in business – it feels like you’re going nowhere and everywhere all at once.

The story you’re about to hear from Natalia Tapia, Co-Founder of tech platform Graduated, will give you exactly what you need to navigate your own build phase with confidence, trust and resilience.

You’ll hear about:

• Reconciling with practical vs university experience
• Meetings with strangers that redefine your career path
• Giving your idea the space to grow
• Navigating co-founder relationships
• The challenge of market education when building something entirely new
• Knowing when to quit your 9-5 and go all in
• And the weirdness of working your guts out, solo, unnoticed through the seemingly endless building phase.

Growing a business at any phase is never easy, but it’s always worth it.
