Start-Up Incubating

Dragon's Den Panel Advisor For Plymouth University 3rd Year Degree Students

I have been invited to act as a potential investor in a dragons den styled presentation for University students.

Having been on both sides of the table, this was a great experience providing feedback to the young entrepreneurs.

As part of their core modules, this introduces students to the concepts of entrepreneurship through the practical exploration of individual, collaborative and organisational creative enterprise.

Venture Culture is operating as a pragmatic vehicle for generating new ventures within the creative and cultural industries, the formation of prototype companies enables students to rehearse the commercialisation of their practice.

The businesses, students and products/ services are varied.

Student Projects:
