It’s 2019 and ‘entrepreneurship’ is the new buzz word. Almost every human and their dog wants to become the next Mark Zuckerberg, Elon Musk or Kylie Jenner. But as today’s guest reveals, the entrepreneurial journey is far from simple. 

Like most forward-thinking graduates, Andrea Bonaceto desired to build a company of his very own. This led to him co-founding HiredGrad, a recruitment company that matches student societies with top companies. 

Although the company is still running today, Andrea recognised that becoming a successful entrepreneur requires more than just willpower. Instead, the best mindset to have is to focus on solving a problem. 

Combining the lessons from his first company and his curiosity for blockchain, Andrea became the founder and CEO of Eterna Capital, an investment fund focused on blockchain. Since their launch, Eterna Capital has been listed by Forbes as one of the top 3 investment funds operating in the Blockchain space.

In this episode, Andrea gives us a peek behind the entrepreneurship curtain and reveals exactly what it takes to start a company.
