CUE are pleased to announce the successful launch of the Cambridge Startup Initiative last term. Three cohorts of students participated in this five-week, part-time, remote startup bootcamp led by expert advisor Will Gregory. The classes were designed to provide the fastest entrepreneurial learning experience possible training students to build and lead their own ventures. Participants received expert mentorship while networking with other Cambridge student founders and earning their place in the Cambridge Startup Initiative Alumni Network. We look forward to launching the next rounds of this programme this term. Please don’t hesitate to get in touch if you have any questions or would like to learn more about this fantastic opportunity! Student Testimonials “This bootcamp was an amazing opportunity and made the highlight of my term.” “The course gave me the final push and assurance I needed to commit to building my own startup.” “The Cambridge Startup Initiative left me feeling more empowered to explore my entrepreneurial endeavours, armed with a clearer understanding of the journey ahead, and the confidence that I possess the necessary skills and knowledge to navigate it.”

Come join us for our collaborative event with the Lucy Cavendish Finance and Real Estate Society. We'll hear a pitch and a panel discussion featuring some of our most exciting startups of the year. 🏆
