The prize money towards our project totalled \u00a36,000 \u2013 which was mind-blowing. This would turn out to kick-start one heck of a year.<\/p>\n<p>Later that same week back in March we were also competing in a couple more competitions. This was the last week of term and I had exams to sit, so I rescheduled them. And good job I did: we won \u00a311,000 in Imperial\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.imperialenterpriselab.com\/programmes\/vcc\/\">Venture Catalyst Challenge<\/a> on the Wednesday, and \u00a35,000 in the College\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.imperial.ac.uk\/business-school\/research\/gandhi-centre\/i2i\/\">Ideas to Impact Challenge<\/a> on the Friday (after a coursework submission that morning). It didn\u2019t stop there. The following Monday we were awarded a grant for \u00a32,600 from the Douglas Bader Foundation; a month or so later we then won \u00a33,000 from the Imperial College Union ACT Now Showcase.<\/p>\n<h2>Facing a dilemma<\/h2>\n<p>Mitt \u2013 our little fledgeling seed of an idea had raised a combined total of \u00a328,000 since the start of the year. And now I had a choice to make:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Take the job offer I had previously agreed to before this kicked off, try to work on Mitt part-time, and likely watch it slowly fade away without the time and effort needed to keep it going.<\/li>\n<li>Take a leap of faith, live on \u00a36,000 for the year and put the remaining \u00a322,000 into the company to hit its milestones, and give Mitt a fighting chance at becoming a real thing.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>When put like that, the choice was clear. I called up the firm that was expecting me to start working in a couple of months and told them that I had to follow my heart. This was late spring.<\/p>\n<p>By the start of summer I had finished my final exams and taken a two-week break in Ireland with my beautiful girlfriend, before getting back to work: Full-time on Mitt with my co-founder, Ben Lakey, or \u2018The Great Lakes\u2019 as he is sometimes affectionately known.<\/p>\n<p>We moved into our first office \u2013 graciously gifted desk space in the Imperial College Hackspace. By August our prototype prosthetic arm was beta test-ready, and we started our first month-long product pilot. September came and we filed our first patent on the design. A week later we partnered with the coolest surgeon in the world, Dr Aidan Roche, to run our clinical validation.<\/p>\n<p>Then, we had an invite to China to present at the World Economic Forum with the Imperial Enterprise Lab. We met incredible, influential, inspiring people; ate the BEST food, and our hotel burnt down (seriously \u2013 but that\u2019s a story for a different time). No sooner than we landed we received another invite to present in Japan. Ben went to this one, and he had the time of his life.<\/p>\n<p>In October we were accepted onto the London and Partners Business Growth program, a mentoring and training scheme run by the Mayor of London. And we found out just before Christmas that we won a \u00a350,000 grant from the Royal Academy of Engineering!<\/p>\n<h2>Building confidence<\/h2>\n<p>It\u2019s been an incredible year. We\u2019ve met inspiring people, and watched Mitt grow from strength to strength. But we all have to start somewhere. And for us it was in that lecture hall, sweating through my shirt as I got ready to pitch in front of the IGHI judges.<\/p>\n<p>That evening we didn\u2019t just win prize money; we won confidence. And that confidence in our small idea is all it took for us to run with it. We\u2019re not done yet (not by a long shot), but we\u2019re a long way from the students we were just a year ago. So what I\u2019m trying to say is thank you to the IGHI team for their support, (their money), and their vote of confidence.<\/p>\n<p>So if you\u2019re reading this, sitting on the fence about an idea you could pursue, please do it. And hey, if it\u2019s global health-related: apply to the IGHI\u2019s Student Challenges Competition.
