“
The Entrepreneur Series hosted by Banyan was seriously legit. The speaker lineup was on point, with founders from OnTheList and Creature Comforts on the panel sharing super valuable insights on their startup stories. But the best part was the awesome vibe and the quality of the audience – I got to chat with a bunch of driven, ambitious folks and made some promising new connections. The conversations were thought-provoking and left me feeling energised. I can’t wait for the next one – it’s an invaluable resource for any entrepreneurs or any curious individuals like me.
