SETsquared Workshop: Turning interest into income

Creating Income Streams That Drive Sustainable Growth

Every founder needs more than just a great product — they need a revenue engine that can scale. This hands-on workshop is designed to help first-time founders build income streams that are repeatable, sustainable, and built to support long-term growth.

We’ll break down what a scalable revenue model really looks like, explore different monetisation strategies, and show you how to align pricing, customer value, and operational delivery for maximum impact. Whether you're pre-launch or already generating early revenue, this session will help you shape a model that grows with your startup.
