A b o U t U SYour Hidden Potential (YHP) was started in 2010 to bring together

a community o entrepreneurs and aspiring entrepreneurs to learn,

connect and be inspired.

YHP looks to encourage entrepreneurship and motivate others

through thought leadership and insights rom young entrepreneurs

across the world. We interview some o the hottest up-and-coming

entrepreneurs and provide tips and resources to help you start your

business and make it successul.

We regularly host YHP Connect, a monthly networking event

where aspiring entrepreneurs, business owners, students and

investors can all come together under one roo to relax and connect

in a riendly, social atmosphere.

We believe it is important to build and grow a community o

like-minded people when starting a business o your own. At YHP we

allow you to connect with others, creating a network o individuals

who are working through the same issues and can help each other to

learn and grow.

W H o A r E W E ?Rishi ChoWdhuRy - Co FoundeR

Networker, oodie, ootball an with short attention span. I started two

companies during university where I saw students with great ideas

and passion but who didnt believe that starting a business was a

possibility, and that is how YHP was born.

I also work in the marketing team at one o Europes most

successul start-ups, Huddle. I started at Huddle straight ater leaving

university and run YHP concurrently.
