The idea behind juncxn is to understand how early stage entrepreneurs function with their product, team, business strategy, and research. In this podcast we talk with multiple startup founders that have been hustling for success and living the dream of owning their own ventures. We talk about the how's and the what's of their journey leading to them starting up. Some founders have been corporate employees, some have been college dropouts and some have startedup right after completing their education, join us on our journey as we try to decode the in's and out's of the word 'entrepreneur'.
Whenever a new innovation is launched, many people group up & say that this won't work.
Be it from the transition from horses to steam engines or the discovery of Internet, certain people always critiqued it.
The same is happening with WEB 3.0. To remove all your doubts, tune into the podcast to get a strong understanding about WEb 3.0 & metaverse with Shourya Agarwal, the founder of FLAM
His zeal to be a great entrepreneur can really motivate you to choose the path of entrepreneurship.
