Anik studiert Agrarwissenschaft und hatte bald die Idee, Schweizer Humus anzubieten: Fyn Food wurde geboren. Schnell nahm sie Kontakt auf zu Bauern und machte zuhause die ersten Tests. Dass man das so nicht alleine zuhause erfolgreich in den geplanten Chargen machen kann, wurde sehr schnell klar, so dass Anik auf die Suche ging nach einem Produzenten. Denn selber so Maschinen zu kaufen, war schlicht weg finanziell gar nicht tragbar.

Meet this week's awesome Studentpreneur guest: Francis Ignatius, 30, recent postgraduate from Adelaide University and founder of Entrepreneur Story. Francis' entrepreneurial journey started with import/export while an undergraduate at Edith Cowan University. He had been working since the age of 13 but this didn't help escape one of his biggest lessons in life when he became broke after that first business. Now his mission is to help university graduates to stay in South Australia instead of going to Sydney or Melbourne. Quotes: I sold my sports car to fund my business venture I had no money, no capital, nothing but I wanted to build a business to eat meat again, not just instant noodle I started asking 50 people on a car forum what they wanted to do to their car... it's very easy to do Action = Reaction and Reaction= Opportunity Most people are too afraid to take the action because they are scared of failure  I don't identify as an entrepreneur... I had no choice but hustle 45% of University graduate in South Australia can't find a job I spent less time in socialising, this is my sacrifice to build my business  10 tries and then you will be successful! My parents hated the fact that I was doing my business and my best friend was telling me to give... I was stubborn and that's how I made it U2U: If you are attending University just to get a piece of paper, I think you are wasting your time. If you are there to develop yourself, then it is worth is.

Special Episode: I was interviewed on the Marketing on the Move podcast and I shared the findings of my 4 years of research on studentpreneurs! Summary: Studentpreneurs are a growing phenomenon with some famous entrepreneurs (Larry Page and Sergey Brin from Google and Steve Huffman from Reddit). The numbers are rare numbers about it but in the UK a study showed there 80,000 studentpreneurs (3.5% of uni students) with an estimated collected revenue over 44 million pounds or AU$80M.Remember, the best time to start a business is when you are a student, pretty much no expenses, you can undercut everyone and nobody cares when you fail.   What this study does is back up with some management theories our gut feeling on studentpreneurs. This is necessary to build dedicated programs.   Here I am going to summarise 4 years of research in a list of 7 items without encryption in academic language.   SECTION 1: The main problem is that studentpreneurs do not see themselves as entrepreneurs. Mostly because they do not know what is an entrepreneur, or what they know is too daunting (eg: Steve Jobs). It takes them a long time to build and embrace that identity.    1- Three stages on the journey of studentpreneurs. The uni programs for studentpreneurs need to take them on that journey but at a faster pace. HOBBYIST: driven by the student's personal interest MAKER: the stage where they want to make money or love the process of making money or build a product/service.  ENTREPRENEUR: they finally call themselves entrepreneurs, co-founder, business person... 2 - Four profiles of studentpreneurs to identify when designing a dedicated programs:  The Creatives: started with their passion for creating things. They start at the hobbyist stage. The Student-Athletes: they were student-athlete before starting a business. They can transfer a lot of the traits they developed as athletes: focus, dedication, sacrifices, competition.  The Family Studentpreneurs: at least one parent is an entrepreneur, grew up in that environment. Most expected case. The Enterprisers: they started late, at Uni, with the motivation of making money or building something, without identifying as entrepreneurs yet but they aspire to become one.   3 - Three ways to support studentpreneurs in constructing their identity of entrepreneurs: Positively validating what they do as entrepreneurs: entrepreneurial competition (hackathons), winning a big contract, being accepted in an incubator or accelerator program, or winning awards such as 30 under 30 entrepreneurs.  Getting them to realise that they want to make money and that it is okay! They can't progress otherwise.  Most important is to support them understand they are different from other students and then cultivate that difference. Some call it a mindset.    SECTION 2: 3 key elements in how studentpreneurs pursue opportunities with limited resources, need to be fostered by uni incubators and accelerator programs.   4 - Entrepreneurial Human Capital Skills possessed Learning Skills. Need to encourage all type of learning and run hands-on workshops.   5 - Entrepreneurial Social Capital: building relationships  Networking - need to attend event, organise events with entrepreneurs Mentors  - key. Can be found in incubators, events Co-founders - 12/19 had co-founders. finding one is a skill   6 - Entrepreneurial Cognition Capital  ->  Decision Making & How to make their own luck! Initial disregard for resources at hand. This feature is a great way to identify studentpreneurs for dedicated programs.  Sensemaking: capability to make sense of the opportunity and what is around the studentpreneur. Needs to be developed! it's where the Ah-ah moment happen. Serendipity: capability to act on luck -> needs to make luck happen    7 - All these elements apply to pivoting: developing at are important to start a business or pivot it. They are going to keep using them     Summary: need to organise entrepreneurial events to help studentpreneurs go through their journey to become entrepreneurs. Uni programs need to help them realise they are different, that they want to make money and it's okay. Different profiles can be targeted.

Help Gideon: Try out www.monetise.com.au and send your feedback to Gideon.silverman@monetise.com.au ------------------------------------------------- In this age of job instability, disrupting technologies and the prospect that we will have a portfolio of jobs being a student entrepreneur is the best way to be prepared. Gideon is a great example; in this episode he shares how he started a shoe import business at uni then worked at a top consulting firm then back to uni and starting a new business in the silicon valley. It’s not about being an employee or an entrepreneur but running the startup of you to quote Reid Hoffman.   Check out the latest episode on StudenPreneurPodcast.com   Meet this week awesome studentpreneur: Gideon Silverman, 30 yo, Australian MBA Student a Stanford University and Entrepreneur at Monetise. He sold his first business at Uni to a charity that he was working with, and a great outcome is that that business is being used to teach some business skills yo young Australians (Check Gideon.com.au). Gideon went from selling shoes at the market while at Uni, to be a consultant at McKinsey and finally to a set up a finance startup while at Stanford, triggered by helping his mother to do her finance. He operated by instincts in his first business at Uni, then honed then into business judgements at McKinsey, judgement built on experience. Quotes: - With physical products, you have margin and profit from day one. - If there is one skill that served me well in my entrepreneurial career it's accounting, it’s a critical skill.  Balancing business and studies - Be very rigorous in managing your personal calendar, schedule everything. - Have a mobile office: use “dead time” while travelling to work. - Make sure you have your release valve: e.g. exercise and yoga  Tips: - To find contact: personal emails, 9/10 will respond. - Experience failure as learning otherwise it will become too personal - Whatever idea you have in mind: take the first step!  U2U (What could University do to support you) - Cooperative programs, usually done with big corporation could be tailored to startups. - Universities could create something like a venture capital fund to provide capital to the most promising Studentpreneurs. This way instead of getting a job could follow their dream. - Great entrepreneurs could become teaching faculty at University to share their experience. The same way it’s done at Stanford.  If you enjoy the episode, hit subscribe on your podcast player or Studentpreneur.com.au

Meet this week awesome studentpreneur: Nkosana H Mafico, 20 years old, Student in  Business Management at University of Queensland and entrepreneur at Shandar Entreprise in Brisbane, Australia.   Wrap up: Nkosana realised early on that high school is a unique market where customers cannot leave for 6 hours and took advantage of it. The fact that his parents did not give him much pocket money was a motivation  for starting his gardening business. Interestingly in his first year at University he followed the voices from the other mindset: be a good student and wait to graduate to start your busines. It was the realisation that he couldn’t get a good internship because the conventional way of applying was not his strength that made him go back to being a Studentpreneur. His motivation was to build his own brand to be an interesting candidate. A business plan competition got him started again and led him to other opportunities with several accelerator programs such as iLab and Muru-D even though he had to invest his own money and study remotely.  Feel free to engage with Nkosana through his linkedin page on our shownotes at Studentpreneur.com.au.   Tips:  - As a student you have access to internet for free on all campuses in the world through Eduoram - Join accelerator programs to be with other entrepreneurs - Managing studies and business: It’s a matter of what your priorities are. - Use flipboard to curate your reading. - Reach out to potential mentors on LinkedIn (be interesting) - Each single minute counts, be very disciplined about what you do.   Uni to support you: -  Foster more collaborative work between various faculties   Book: -Rich Dad poor Dad   Quote:  -  “People say to drop out of uni to run your business but University is key part of where I got today: the people I met, the support I got, it’s very valuable”   Links:  Shanda Website: www.shandaenterprises.com LinkedIn: https://au.linkedin.com/in/nkosanahmafico Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/pages/Nkosana-Mafico/100484893632229   If you have what it takes you can apply to share your story on air:  http://studentpreneur.com.au/pages/contact-form-guest/

In this episode I interview Steinar, the 2015 Global Student Entrepreneur of the Year. Check out what it takes…    Meet this week awesome studentpreneur: Steinar Henskes, 24 years old, Student in Business at University of Amsterdam and Entrepreneur at Bird Control Group, the Netherlands.   Wrap up: Each studentpreneur's story is different and what works for some people doesn't for others, however I'd like to point out of few things in Steiner's journey that are similar to the studentpreneurs I have interviewed: He may not have been an entrepreneur in high school but he was  an elite athlete which has a lot of similitudes of being an entrepreneur. He lets himself try his options by taking gap years. He applies entrepreneurial thinking to his decisions such as going to universities to “divert risk”. He realises that the university environment and the startup environment influences each other, it’s the essence of being a Studentpreneur! For him too, you can’t do everything by yourself, you have to surround yourself with fellow entrepreneurs, aka mentors. So, he learns by talking to fellow entrepreneurs but of course a lot by doing too.   Book:  - The lean Startup by Eric Ries - Venture deals by Brad Feld   Tips:  - Get a mentor - Get into an accelerator program at the idea stage, you will get the most out of it - In your pitch demonstrate the business is scalable and that you are capable of scaling it. - Make a 3 year (business) plan with your mentor - GET OUT OF YOUR OFFICE AND TALK TO OTHER ENTPREPRENEURS   Quote: Your first venture is essential to learn the basics of business and implement the lessons in the next one.   U support U:  Talk to people at Uni to get help in combining  both: study advisor, entrepreneurship program…Be aware of the special programs available. Studentpreneurs need to be recognised, to have a status like student athletes   Links:  LinkedIn: https://nl.linkedin.com/in/steinarhenskes Twitter: @SteinarFinn Company Twitter: @birdcontrolg Website: http://birdcontrolgroup.com/   If you have what it takes you can apply to share your story on air: http://studentpreneur.com.au/pages/contact-form-guest/

Meet this week awesome studentpreneur: Marie Schneegans, 21 years old, Student in Financial Engineering and Applied Economics at Paris Dauphine University and Goethe University and entrepreneur with Never Eat Alone in France    Wrap up: Each studentpreneur's story is different and what works for some people doesn't for others, however I'd like to point out of few things in Marie's journey that are similar to the studentpreneurs I have interviewed: Instead of keeping her ideas secret, she tells everyone about her project and try to meet as many people as possible by inviting them for lunch.  She is in the mindset of “fake it until you make it” and that’s how she found a free place to run her project. She is opened to new adventures, new people: she got exposed to the Free Space concept while couch surfing in Cambodia and she won a seat in an incubation program Startuphouse in San Francisco by competing in Startup Bus hackaton . Finally Marie reminds us that it’s not always easy to be a student and an entrepreneur; there is no more free time to see her loved ones. The support from the people around her such as her mentor and her boyfriend is one answer but so is meditation. So give a go to meditation to help you with your mindfulness.  If you have a creative way to help Marie to manage her time post a comment on our FB page: facebook.com/thestudentpreneurpodcast.    The amazing  French “etudiant-entrepreneur” status (Studentpreneur) in bullet points: - Opportunity to run your own business instead of doing the compulsory 6 month internship. - Free mentor (potentially an alumni of your uni!). - Support network from a dedicated government organisation (PEPITE). - Time adjustment and flexibility for your studies - Same health cover has students - Any student in France can apply: http://www.pepite-france.fr/   Book: Zero to One from Peter Thiel   Tips:  - Have a lunch with someone you don’t know (check her Never Eat Alone app) - Be open to diversity in background and age - If you want it you can do it    Links:  Startuphouse: http://startuphouse.com/ Startupbus: https://startupbus.com/   If you have what it takes you can apply to share your story on air: http://studentpreneur.com.au/pages/contact-form-guest/ Quotes: "Meditation is a tool that helps me be more focused." "Be open with different types of people, try to communicate with everyone." "Fake it until you make it." "I have no money so I had to find a way without money."

Meet this week awesome studentpreneur: Taj Pabari 15 years old, high school student at John Paul College and entrepreneur at Fiftysix, Brisbane, Australia.  Wrap up: Each studentpreneur's story is different and what works for some people doesn't for others, however I'd like to point out of few things in Taj 's journey that are similar to the studentpreneurs I have talked to: Very early on, at the age of 11, Taj saw an opportunity in the blogging industry and was not scared to reach out to big manufacturers. He never lost that ability to reach out to people, which helped him for his other venture. Entrepreneurship competitions such as Startup Weekend helped him meet his next co-funder and increased his network of mentors and persons of interest. He took his networking to the next level when building up his Linkedin profile and met a lot of investors and people happy to help this way. Don’t forget that people love to help young entrepreneurs, so if you put yourself on Linkedin, they will be able to find you! His failure re: importing from China is a very common one, so be careful when doing it. Finally, Taj stresses the importance to be involved in competitions and entrepreneurship programs such as the Foundation of Young Australians, so do like Taj and contact http://www.fya.org.au/ if you are in Australia or find similar programs in your country. Feel free to send me the name of the programs you found and I’ll post them on the Studentpreneur.com.au website.   U to support U: Schools should have “Communication Path”, to help students learn how to communicate, how to do public speaking.

Meet this week awesome studentpreneur: Samuelle Dimairho student in Accounting at the Online University of Oxford Brook, UK,  and entrepreneur at Aura Group in Zimbabwe. Each studentpreneur's story is different and what works for some people doesn't for others, however I'd like to point out of few things in Samuelle Dimairho's journey that are similar to the studentpreneurs I have talked to: He started 20 different ideas to to succeed a couple of times, he is another example of starting fast and failing fast. Also he has been a big reader from very early on, which is how he changed his mindset to become an entrepreneur. He listens to a lot of audiobook while commuting so no excuse if you don't have time to read books, you can listen to them. He started very early, at 14, doing internship from which he gained professional experience but also made a lot of connections, that's how he started his network. As always mentors play a great role in his entrepreneurship journey, he has several who have different areas of expertise. He met his first one at church, you never know where your first mentor will come from. Finally he really enjoyed the Global Student Entrepreneurship Award competition where he met likeminded studentpreneurs and mature entrepreneurs.

Meet this week awesome studentpreneur: Nicholas Kissajukian , saster student in Commerce at USNW and entrepreneur at Hipfood in Sydney, Australia. Learn more about Nicholas on www.StudentPreneur.com.au Nicholas' tip: Use your student card.  Don't be affraid to ask any one with experience and you will be surprised by their generosity.    Wrap up: each studentpreneur' story is different and what works for some people doesn't for others. For this episode I wanted to go a little bit outside the profile of studentpreneur I have interviewed so far, yes Nicholas is still at an early stage but he illustrates a couple of my findings in my research. Well, first, you don't need to be in tech to have a startup;) Well, it actually goes deeper than this: some of the jobs around offers real entrepreneurial experience. With Nicholas you can see how a chef in his cuisine is running his own business within the restaurant, and like entrepreneurs, as Nicholas said, he is managing chaos. Our studentpreneur started working early in that environment, which helped him break away from the mainstream mindset. Of course having both his parents as small business owners helped too. However, something else happened to help him to get started: an elective at Uni that gave him the basics of how to get started, with the lean startup methodology and a competition with empowering and enabling prizes such as a space in an incubator. Finally, he wasn't affraid of asking anyone with experience how to do things.    As a student you have a very powerful tool: your student card. So use it, contact people with experience, they are always happy to help students, go an do your customer validation out of the building waving your student ID and you will be impressed how easier things gets, so don't wait and start leveraging your student card     To become a guest apply at http://studentpreneur.com.au/pages/contact-form-guest/
