For students stepping into the startup world, entrepreneurship isn’t just about launching a company, it’s about developing a mindset. It’s about seeing problems as opportunities, testing ideas without fear of failure, and building something bigger than yourself. Pittsburgh has top-tier universities, a community eager to support bold ideas, and students have more access than ever to resources, mentors, and funding. We know that entrepreneurship is more than just access though, it’s action. That’s why key skills like networking, following your curiosity, and embracing your unique perspective matter. These are the habits that separate those who dream about startups from those who build them.

Inspiring EDP Class on Startups at JECRC University!* 🚀 Recently, I attended an Entrepreneurship Development Program (EDP) class led by Aryan Kumawat We learned about important topics like 💡 idea generation, 📊 market research, and creating a solid business plan. Aryan Sir shared his real-world experiences, including the mistakes to avoid and how to tackle challenges in the startup journey. One key takeaway was how essential it is to understand the problem you're solving. Aryan Sir told us to always ask, "Is this problem worth solving?" and "Do I fully understand it?" His insights have really motivated me to think seriously about starting my own venture! 💪
