Get Started
Whether you are looking for general information, have an idea you need help with, or want to access our range of business support, the QUEST team is here to help!
Have a look at the options below to understand where to find our recommended resources and how you can use our support.
All of our programmes, events, and funding opportunities can be found on our Programmes and Events page. Each activity page shows eligibility and timelines.
We would recommend:
- Sign up for our newsletter for upcoming events, opportunities, and funding (mainly London focussed), current research, and startup stories
- Follow the QUEST LinkedIn page for even more news, stories, and global events, opportunities, and funding
- Join the QM Entrepreneurs Society to connect with students also interested in this space
If you have an idea you want to develop, the first step is to think about these 6 questions, and have a go at answering them before you come and see us. This gives us a better background to what sort of help you may need and helps us to direct you to the best next steps.
Q1 (Hook): What is your idea?
Q2 (Customer or user): Who it’s for?
Q3 (Problem): Why do they need it?
Q4 (Marketing and comms): How will they’ll get/discover it?
Q5 (Money): How will it sustain itself?
Q6 (Team and support): Who will make it happen + what’s needed?
Already have a side hustle or business? The QUEST team have a number of ways to support existing businesses, including access to experts and mentors, funding, and accelerator application support. We can also help shine a light on the work you are doing through the "Our Entrepreneurs" series or by sharing news of your successes through our newsletter.
