Quantum Entrepreneurship masterclass

Wednesday 21st May 13:30-17:15, Room G20 Royal School of Mines

So, you’ve got a cool idea for a start-up? There’s just one obstacle – you need to get the idea out of your head and into the real world… then convince someone to fund it.
This is a super practical session led by the Imperial Enterprise Lab, who have seen a lot of pitches and read a lot of business plans. They’ll take you through the key ingredients of what makes a successful pitch and cover the key areas of entrepreneurial finance so you can walk away with the foundations of a start-up. This masterclass is for everyone from complete newbies to seasoned demo day masters – wherever you are in your entrepreneurship process, you’ll get plenty of helpful tips, pointers, and feedback.
