Our first ever LIVE Kasa Connect episode!

Recorded at Kasa Café London, we hosted a special fireside chat and audience Q&A with Amardeep Parmar — founder of Bae HQ, host of one of the UK’s largest entrepreneurial communities, and author of the newly released book Startups For Outsiders.

In this live conversation, Amardeep shares:

• how “outsiders” — people without industry connections, wealth, or a traditional background — can still break into entrepreneurship

• the mindset shifts required to stand out in competitive industries

• real lessons from building Bae HQ and supporting thousands of founders

• honest reflections on purpose, confidence, imposter syndrome, and building community

• tactical advice for validation, networking, and taking your first steps as a founder

The episode finishes with an open audience Q&A, where attendees ask Amardeep raw, unfiltered questions about startups, fundraising, creativity, and navigating the early days of your founder journey.
