With social media and online businesses becoming mainstream, opening a business has become more accessible to individuals who want to explore turning their passion projects into side hustles. Some even go the extra mile and change their careers to become solopreneurs. Last month, we organised a panel discussion with Klára Losert (Co-founder of Talkbase), Petra Čuřínová (Founder and CEO of GIVILI), and Lucie Neumanova (Co-founder & CEO at Femme Palette). The speakers shared some insights on how female founders turned a profit through their passion projects in the Czech Republic. We’ve put together eight takeaways from our conversation to inspire you to turn your passion project into a profitable business.
