The Entrepreneur’s Edge Workshop
Umer is on a mission to help founders build powerful brands, make better decisions, and break through what’s holding them back.

Empowering the Next Generation of Entrepreneurs
The Entrepreneur’s Edge is a free, high-impact workshop designed for secondary school and college students who are curious about entrepreneurship but don’t want the same recycled advice.
In this session, I dive into the three core soft skills that make or break young entrepreneurs—not pitch decks, not fundraising, but mindset, emotional intelligence, and decision-making under pressure. The stuff no one talks about.
Who it's for
Secondary school and college students
Young people exploring entrepreneurship
Educators looking to expose students to real-world skills
What to expect
A 60 to 90-minute interactive session
Real stories from 8+ years of building companies (and failing forward)
Tools and frameworks they can actually use
Why it's free
Because someone once gave me a chance—and this is how I pay it forward. That said, I only run 12–14 workshops a year, so I’m intentional about where I show up.
