The Australian Society of Entrepreneurs has expanded its network with the launch of a Sydney chapter, designed to assist aspiring entrepreneurs with the stresses of running a business.<\/p>\n
<\/span> <\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n ASE is a not-for-profit organisation formed in Melbourne early last year by chief executive Adam Mathews and newly appointed managing director Christine Trettel.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n It was formed to assist aspiring entrepreneurs with the stresses often associated with running a business, catering mostly to young entrepreneurs.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n While the society was formed in Melbourne, it has chapters throughout the Asia Pacific region, including Hong Kong and China.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n Each chapter runs monthly events to educate, motivate and encourage aspiring entrepreneurs, with support from the other chapters around the world.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n Tania Hatton, the newly appointed president of the Sydney chapter, has taken on the responsibilities of forming and running the chapter.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n Hatton is aiming to grow her chapter to the same size as Melbourne\u2019s over the year.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n The Sydney chapter recently held its first speakers\u2019 event, featuring OrionVM managing director Sheng Yeo, who discussed the advantages of cloud computing for up-and-coming entrepreneurs.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n After Yeo\u2019s keynote presentation, the group discussed ideas about new businesses, and helped to clarify each other\u2019s ideas. This was followed by networking.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n One attendee described her experience as \u201cexcellent\u201d, with \u201cgreat coverage\u201d of the basics of cloud computing.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n \u201c[I] loved the networking, discussing other [people\u2019s] entrepreneurial ideas. It was really fun, engaging and exciting,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n According to ASE, the chapters are aimed at anyone interested in learning and sharing knowledge, skills, techniques and resources \u201cwith a bunch of other well-rounded entrepreneurs\u201d.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n \u201cThis is a place where we can all stand on the edge of thought, ideas and creativity and share openly \u2013 all meet-ups are public and designed to benefit the members,\u201d ASE said in a statement.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n \u201cAll events are recorded for viewing during our social catch-ups and networking functions, and all members will have access to view old footage [to] review particular speakers or events.\u201d<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n ASE said most events will culminate in a networking activity, along with dinner or drinks.<\/p>\n \u201cLocation will vary based on the majority of our members\u2019 requirements [and] event locations will be determined by RSVPs and activity requirements,\u201d it said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The Australian Society of Entrepreneurs has expanded its network with the launch of a Sydney chapter, designed to assist aspiring<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":62530,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.startupsmart.com.au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/32715"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.startupsmart.com.au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.startupsmart.com.au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.startupsmart.com.au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.startupsmart.com.au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=32715"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.startupsmart.com.au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/32715\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.startupsmart.com.au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/62530"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.startupsmart.com.au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=32715"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.startupsmart.com.au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=32715"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.startupsmart.com.au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=32715"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
