These #startupthoughts are from startup Agrolooks, a circular farmer income generator. Curious to find out more? Stay tuned for the founder's introduction on Wednesday.⁠

We're still buzzing from excitement! Last week 3(!) of our programs were happening on the same day. One of the upsides of the #coronacrisis: we can virtually split up team ACE 🙌⁠
⁠
One of the programs that kicked off: the two-day AMC Explore program! The sessions are a part of "Entrepreneurship in Health & Life Sciences" - an official course at @approve_AMC. Last Wednesday, 24 PhD candidates dipped their toes into the pool of entrepreneurship. Stay tuned for the next session on June 24. 🚀⁠

As part of the #ACEexplore initiatives, a new HvA Explore Entrepreneurship session will take place tomorrow. ACE alumnus Melanie Rieback - co-founder of Radically Open Security - will provide a session on entrepreneurship in times of corona. Details: Wednesday May 20, 16:00pm, via Zoom. 💥⁠
⁠
As the founder of the world's first not-for-profit computer security consultancy company, Melanie Rieback’s talk will combine her practical experience building "nonprofit businesses" with the macroeconomic theory of "post-growth" economists like Tim Jackson and Kate Raworth. ⁠
