Carissa
From Unexpected Layoff to a Business She Believes In
Carissa was unexpectedly laid off from a previously stable role and decided to use the disruption as an opportunity to pursue a different path entirely. Through the VentureOff Entrepreneurship Curriculum and Summit coaching, she explored and iterated on multiple business and career options, ultimately landing on one that was both personally meaningful and commercially viable.
“Their guidance played a huge role in helping me turn an idea into something real. Through working with them, I learned so much, especially around finances, pricing, planning, and making strategic business decisions instead of just emotional ones.”
— Carissa, VentureOff Graduate
