Studentpreneur Podcast: Stories Of Students Who Are Entrepreneurs | Student Entrepreneur | Young Entrepreneur |

Meet this week's awesome studentpreneur: Joseph Kekulawela, 28 y.o.,  Master student in Psychiatry at Melbourne University and  his co-founder Aksha Akin from FirstStep in Melbourne, Australia. Joseph and his co-founders realised that 87% of young Australians don't own share whereas the Australian market has been returning 8% on average. They created FirstStep to allow teenagers and young adults to save their virtual loose change and invest it directly on the stock market for hopefully a return of 6/7%. Quotes: Look out for University accelerator programs, they are the greatest support We learned from the other teams at the accelerator programs Balance: you need to be very focused and conscious of what needs to be done (prioritisation) University students volunteers can be used as a free sales force. Sydney Incubate program, the greatest support: 14-week program. A total of 48 startups over 6 classes. Access to mentors. Learning from workshops: user testing days, very useful. Tools:  Slack Trello Google
