Fast Fail
18th Jun 2021
Fast Fail was a small entrepreneurship opportunity open to young people. They were given $100 to start a small business - there were workshops to help along the way! The idea was to give something a go and see if you could make it work.
We were so impressed with our entrepreneurship Fastfail participants - they have some amazing products, are talking knowledgeably about profit margins and marketing plans - and today they shared their business plans with Anton Matthews from FUSH - thanks Anton!
