It takes start-ups of all shapes and sizes to tackle the challenges in our society today.
We are launching a student led social impact venture fund focusing on “start-ups for good”. This new initiative aims to provide support to student and recent graduate entrepreneurs from a diverse background.
Built by students and invest in student-led social enterprises, this fund is the first such fund in the UK. The initiative aims to enhance entrepreneurial learning as well as foster long-term social impact. It offers students the opportunities to develop their entrepreneurial knowledge and skills with support from industry mentors and faculty members. Our student VCs advise and invest in real-life early-stage start-ups with a social mission.
