From Lived Experience to Venture

How personal challenges become ideas worth building.
Some of the most meaningful companies don’t begin with a technology or a search for the next big market. They begin with something much closer to home. Join Storyhouse Ventures and the Hive for a panel with 7C alumni founders who turned deeply personal experiences into companies designed to help others.

We’ll explore how lived experience can reveal needs others overlook, how a personal story becomes an entrepreneurial insight, and what it takes to turn “someone should make this better” into something real. For students curious about entrepreneurship, this conversation offers a different place to begin: not with a pitch, a technology, or a startup idea—but with what you’ve experienced, what you’ve noticed, and what you understand that others might not.
