SnackBeter"The opportunity to start and run our own business was incredibly valuable. We learned how to deal with various challenges and developed skills we could immediately apply in practice. Sparring with fellow students and receiving guidance from trainers and coaches – all of whom have real entrepreneurial experience – was also extremely valuable. After completing the minor, I became even more eager to pursue entrepreneurship."
