Student Upstarts

Mr Matthew Stafford – MBA 2010

Student Upstarts invests up to £15k in exchange for around 8% equity in student run companies. The criteria is simple – one member of your team must be a full-time student at a UK or European higher education institute, or have graduated from one in the last 12 months.

We will get companies incorporated and set up with bank accounts, lawyers and accountants with shareholders agreements and IP assignment in place. Alongside this we help them and get them into the London start-up and investment networks we have, the teams have one or two very strong and relevant dedicated mentors to help them with their product development, MVP, business model and getting to market.

We also help them connect to the right people for the next stage in their entrepreneurial journey by connecting them to Seedcamp, Springboard, Y Combinator and Tech Stars alumni as well as active, relevant Business Angels and VCs.
