is proud to present:

What is it?

• 95% of all new businesses fail within the first 5 years of starting up. • The JCI London Entrepreneurial Academy asks what is the reality of

starting your own business? Why do businesses fail? • The Academy aims to build a network of like-minded entrepreneurs, to

share knowledge and experience and to create new business opportunities and/or prospective cooperation

• Through 6 events and a workshop we aim at building an understanding of the skills that makes an entrepreneur, develop entrepreneurial skills and business acumen, learn about resources and leadership and how to position for funding and investment

► The goal of the Academy is to empower aspiring and existing entrepreneurs to succeed
