Support Brookes Upcoming Changemakers as they Pitch their Next Big Ideas!
As part of Thrive 2020, Brookes Enterprise Support will be showcasing upcoming changemakers at the Spark Pitch Perfect event.
Come and support our Brookes students, staff and grads as they pitch to get their hands on £500 funding to test their new business ideas!
This virtual pitching event will introduce 11 budding entrepreneurs from our Spark Programme, an 8-week ‘introduction to business’ start-up programme. Through Spark, attendees have learnt the fundamental skills to turn their ideas into a reality, and launch their businesses. Next week marks the conclusion of the programme, as the Spark attendees compete to win £500 of equity-free funding, to test their ideas and take the next step in their business journey.
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.
