Currently, the world is hit by the COVID-19 pandemic and we don’t know when it will be over. However, this pandemic is not a barrier for those who want to build or develop new businesses, including young people who still have high spirits. Therefore, BINUS Square Student Committee offers a helping hand for those who wanted to build a startup business by presenting BSSC Talk Show “How to Build a Startup Company During Pandemic”.
This talk show is expected to help inspire the participants to start a startup business during this pandemic. We also aim to develop the inner talent of each participant, especially in the field of entrepreneurship.

This talk show ran from 7 PM – 9.15 PM with Peter Shearer Setiawan (CEO and Founder of WAHYOO) and Rama Mamuaya (CEO and Founder of DailySocial.id) as the speakers. Moreover, various materials such as what is needed in building a startup, as well as tips and tricks for starting a startup, how to do branding, the use of technology in the startup business, how to get funding, and strategy for running a startup, have been delivered by the speakers to the participants. Those materials could help them to understand how to create a new startup business. The speakers also shared their experiences in building a startup company and how they run their business.
