Came across this forgettable photo from final year. I never thought this photo would see the light of day. So why share it? Us and a couple lads from uni celebrating our graduation. It was official—we were qualified and leaving the safety of education for the real world. Little did we know, this moment marked the early spark of what would become 55 Online. Hard to believe this was over a year ago. From uni mates to co-founders, 55 is still kicking around. Follow us for more updates and some unforgettable photos like this one! #TBT #Throwback #GraduationMemories #55OnlineOrigins #FromGraduatesToFounders #EntrepreneurLife #SmallBusinessJourney #CreativeBusiness #StartupStory
