As Halloween gets closer, let’s talk about the “ghosts” that haunt every entrepreneur’s journey!🕸️🎃 Sharing your fears shows others that they are not alone! Conquering those fears isn’t a trick, but a kind of magic only entrepreneurs have: resilience, community, and innovation.

So thank you Firouza Eshonova, Aidana Aituarova, Jasmijn Kok, Maria Dmitrieva, Rim Jourdan, Daniella Castro, PhD, Alena Shchavleva for being brave for all of us💓 Check out their quotes in the gallery—can you relate to their fears?

With Aurora Tech Award participants, it often happens that the idea behind the startup is just as fascinating as the startup itself. It’s business, but the story that drives it is very personal. Like our 2024 finalist, Maria Dmitrieva, whose EcoDisclosure started from her loving memories of childhood activities with her father. We asked her to share her story and, of course, give her personal tips on becoming a successful entrepreneur–check out the gallery! Does your personal story drive your business too? Apply to the Aurora Tech Award while the Open Call is still on, and share it with us: https://lnkd.in/dxNU78YG #AuroraTechAward #WomenInTech #FemaleFounders #TechStartups #WomenEntrepreneurs #WomenInBusiness #WomenLeaders #InnovativeWomen #WomenEmpowerment #StartupLife #FemaleCEO #Entrepreneurship #StartupFounder #WomenInLeadership #FemaleInnovation #TechCommunity #DiversityInTech #TechSavvyWomen #EmpoweringWomen #StartupOpportunity
