The Leap from Corporate to Startup
An inaugural event demystifying the 1leap from corporate into the startup world. Tip Piumsomboon (Blackbird Ventures) talks to Bernise Alviar (Canva), Michael Batko (Startmate) and Florence Doreen (SafetyCulture) on their personal journeys towards a purpose-driven career path.
The mindset around careers has shifted away from climbing the corporate ladder and towards building momentum towards a mission that matters.
“When I was at Morgan Stanley, I was working on a multimillion-dollar M&A deal. I spent 3 weeks sleeping 3 hours a night building this amazing valuation model. Then the deal got signed at a cafe between the two CEOs who agreed on the value upon discussion. That’s when I thought, I don’t want to be another cog in the machine. I want to have an impact.” — Florence Dorreen
What strategies should you use to de-risk your leap? What type of startups are optimal to join? What’s the good, bad and ugly of startups?
The panelists and audience answer those questions in this fireside chat.
