KIU Startup Summer School — 6 annual editions, 250+ cumulative participants
I was thinking what I even am in life and whether I'd ever be ‘enough’ for anything, and then I heard Nikoloz say: ‘You are enough’ — I almost started crying right there. That talk truly helped me realize some things, and from that day I changed my approach.

Everything I'd heard about leaving your comfort zone was bullshit — here I truly, truly, truly left my comfort zone, but over time it became so normal that I stopped stressing about doing weird things. The most important thing I got here is the joy, freedom and natural human relationships that our being together created.

Nikoloz explains getting your ass up, working on problems, and all that so well that even if you had 100 years of a management degree you still wouldn't learn it — because he's grinding real gold experience and sharing every bit of it.

On startups, uncertainty, mental health, and the human side of building things.
