Quitting the day job: how to be a full-time founder

This is a recording of the Virgin StartUp MeetUp that took place in March 2021. Get your tickets to our next MeetUp from virginstartup.org/events.

Are you thinking of packing in the day job and going full-time on your startup? How do you know when the right time to go all-in is? It’s time to find out.

Whilst there’s no ‘perfect time’ to quit the day job and go it alone, what are the options when your startup is gaining traction, and how do you find the confidence in yourself and your business to take the leap?

At this MeetUp, our host, Virgin StartUp advisor and founder of Rebel Book Club, Ben Keene, spoke to our panellists to find out exactly how they went full-time with their startups to hopefully inspire you to do the same.

Featuring:

• Ed Currie and Andy Coxon, co-founders of sustainable deodorant brand, Akt
• Daisy Tinker, co-founder of independent marketplace, A South London Makers Market
• Steph Giordano, founder of cake business, Baked by Steph
