Perfect your pitching skills as you compete against other teams. Do you have a challenge learning highlight from your time at Hult? The challenge for the Future Mindset course. It was my first encounter with design thinking, but what an amazing experience it was! I learned that it’s important to repeatedly “fall in love with the problem,” and continuously iterate to find what’s best for the end user. EXAMPLE ENTREPRENEURIAL CHALLENGE Create a new entrepreneurial venture for a for-profit business or a social enterprise. Solving for society Students were challenged to set their own problem to solve as creatively as possible through a new business idea. From concept, to testing, to pitch— everything was in the hands of the student entrepreneurs. What did you learn about team building in the process? Managing team dynamics among a group of strong-willed personalities, all with excellent skills and ideas, was tough at first. We later understood that the lesson was in the journey, in the art of communication, and what we could learn from each other. After numerous attempts and failures, we eventually found and executed an award- winning solution. How did Hult prepare you for the working world? Learning at Hult was not confined to the lecture room. During tasks and team assignments, we were often encouraged to “get out of the building” by our professors, which instilled in us a culture of innovative, out-of-the-box thinking and implementation. How are you making an impact today? Being at Hult inspired me to follow my dreams of being a full-time entrepreneur. I now run a resource and business hub for queer women founders and leaders across Africa. Test your hypotheses and tackle the problem from multiple angles.
