Creating a Business Out of the World’s Problems

If you really want to achieve success, the first thing to do is find a problem that you can solve. This problem will be the foundation of the company you will build. To help you do this right, here's a workshop where we invited two Founders to share their own first-hand experience on this subject. Let them give you tips on how to do it right and guidance to keep your business going.

About Masters Series by WeTeachMe

At WeTeachMe, we believe that learning should be inspired and impassioned, and run by the people for the people.

In 2016, WeTeachMe officially became the biggest school in Australia, one giant leap towards our fundamental goal of becoming the biggest school in the world.

Masters Series by WeTeachMe is where we help share the gifts, knowledge, and experiences of those who have achieved the unimaginable in their life, risen above all odds and have persevered where others could not.

It is on this stage that we elevate and celebrate the curious, and where we invite the best and the brightest, the industry movers and shakers, the well-known and the influential to share their learnings and experiences because their stories are important. From creating thriving companies to challenging what humanity is capable of, we invite you to join us in celebrating the curious amongst us.
