Successful inspiration event demonstrated creative entrepreneurship



Yesterday, Founders Loft invited to an evening of inspiration with fantastic female entrepreneurs on the theme "design your life", where there was also an opening and display of "wearable art". The audience got to listen to honest and down-to-earth stories about journeys towards creative entrepreneurship, with both setbacks and wins, lessons learned and experiences.


Being able to work with their dream looked different for the inspirers and some did not work with their entrepreneurship full time either, but common to all was that they conveyed the value of being creative on their own terms in the creation of their entrepreneurial journey and their lives.




Drinks and a mingling buffet were offered and the guests could also enjoy the beautiful works of art that adorned the walls of the Founders Loft. In addition, designer Viveka Gren showed off her "wearable art" which some of the guests also got to try on and be photographed with.

"Our idea with this evening was to showcase amazing women who have designed their life in a way that suits them. That there are those who have dared to create creativity in their life and dared to dream and take the leap.

Everyone can work towards and with their dream, not always full-time but with a passion in their heart to make a difference," says Jessica Oldborn, business developer at Founders Loft.
