Learn smart and effective ways to run your business at the AHK Start-Up Café. Get the basics sorted so you can focus on what you really want to be doing: being creative! 

First grab a drink and get to know the current and former students from a wide range of fields. After that, your inspiring trainer will teach you all the ins and outs of running a business. If you want to join us, go to www.ahk.nl/en/entrepreneurship/courses/ 

What you’ll get from this session
Make a big impression on first glance. Discover how to put together the ideal portfolio to present your qualities at their best. What should you show, and what should you keep back? And what about the graphic design, and the changes you need to make for different positions or projects? At this session you’ll lay the foundations for a portfolio or CV – one that you will be able to use to convince clients of your qualities.

This evening’s expert works at Van Lennep design studio in Amsterdam. They make powerful visual designs that always follow a set of basic precepts – 1: tell the truth; 2: your gut feeling is probably right; 3: let the work to the talking; 4: there’s always more than one solution; 5: collaboration is essential; and 6: new blood means fresh views. They’re looking forward to sharing their experience with you.
