Do you need a business degree to start a business?

Short answer: No.

In this episode of Founder Support, Katarina breaks down one of the most common questions we hear from early-stage founders:

“Will I be taken seriously if I don’t have the ‘right’ background?”

Her take:

* You don’t need a business degree.
* You don’t even need a specific degree.
* You need a problem worth solving.

From the founder of Calendly to the founder of Canva, the common thread isn’t credentials but rather proximity to a real problem.

If you’ve experienced it, understood it, and care enough to solve it then that’s your starting point.
