NEXT Growth Conclave 2018 To Be Held on December 22

When you are just starting your business, don’t you wish for someone to help you, inspire you and show you the way? I would. Your startup is a new venture and you do not know where it leads. So having someone on the same path or even better, having someone who has already walked that path is always a boon. But finding such people is the most difficult part.

What if there was a gathering of startups in Nepal where entrepreneurs such as you could meet other entrepreneurs and listen to them speak about their journey? What if you could learn the secrets to grow your business straight from the Gurus?

What’s NEXT Growth Conclave?

NEXT Growth Conclave is an initiative of M&S Next Venture Corp that aims to develop the startup ecosystem of Nepal. It is the meeting place for Nepal’s disruptive startups, small businesses, and the entrepreneurs/ investors.
