From 0 to Your First £1M

Going from 0 to your first £1 million is an incredible achievement in business. Don't let social media tell you any different. Your first £1 million will be the hardest and will require you to build new approaches, new tools, and new ways of thinking to get your venture from the ground up. In this session, we'll explore the strategies, insights, and actionable steps an early-stage venture can take to scale a new business. Whether you're a budding start-up founder or you're in the early stages of growth, we'll navigate the path to a million-pound venture together.
