Consulting and Coaching

Would you like to learn more about starting a business and self-employment, and explore whether this could be a professional path for you? Do you have an initial project idea and need support with the next steps for implementation? Or are you in the early stages of self-employment and have unresolved questions that you would like to clarify?

Then our offerings are the right place for you. We offer individual consulting and coaching for ASH members, available by phone, online, or in person at the Startup Center.

This free service is available to all equally: students, alumni, and staff of ASH.
