Net+U
🧭 Our Hypothesis
“The wisest person learns from others’ successes.”
- John C. Maxwell
At Net+U, we’re exploring how career success can be accelerated by learning from others, especially those outside your immediate organization. We hope to build a space where professionals can connect with external mentors and peers to navigate challenges, make informed decisions, and unlock new opportunities.
🎯 Why Career Development?
Career development is often shaped solely by the individual or internal/employer feedback loops.
We believe there’s untapped value in external perspectives, especially in the Life Sciences sector, where career paths can be complex and nonlinear.
Net+U is an emerging effort to surface those insights and help individuals reflect more deliberately on their journey.
