Support Brookes Brightest Ventures as they Pitch at Thrive 2020!
Rounding off the FUEL programme, Brookes Enterprise Support will be showcasing students, staff and grads as they pitch to get their hands on £2000 funding to scale up their ventures at the Fuel pitch to success event.
This virtual pitching event will introduce 17 budding entrepreneurs from our Fuel Programme, a 9-week ‘Scale Up’ programme for early stage start-ups. Through Fuel, attendees have developed the tangible skills needed to take their business to the next level. Next week marks the conclusion of the programme, as the Fuel attendees compete to win £2000 of equity-free funding to grow their business.
This year we have launched a People’s Choice Award, where you, as an attendee, can vote on the business idea most likely to succeed. The winner of the People’s Choice vote will receive a business support package to help them kickstart their ideas. To have your say, make sure you register to attend the event.
