Innovation Lab

Future Founders Programme

Our Future Founders Programme, powered by Huckletree, is a seven-session programme ending with a pitch presentation to a panel of high-profile innovators, executives and investors – providing early-stage entrepreneurs with essential tools and insights to successfully launch a new business.

Over the course of the programme, participants will embark on a transformative journey, learning from seasoned industry experts and mentors who will help to refine strategies, sharpen business models and prepare entrepreneurs for the challenges of growth.

From the very beginning, student founders will be encouraged to think deeply about their mission, vision and purpose – focusing on what truly sets their business apart and how to clearly articulate their company to customers, investors and stakeholders.

Spanning seven-sessions over seven weeks, they'll learn the fundamentals to launch a startup – covering everything from how to articulate your vision and get buy-in from investors, to how to validate an idea and understand product-market fit. You’ll also deep dive into brand building and early messaging, and get started on the roadmap to your first 100 paying customers.

Your weekly workshops will be led by experienced entrepreneurs and investors including Regent’s alumna Gabriela Hersham (Co-Founder of Huckletree), Andy Davis, Gabbi Cahane and Yvonne Bajela – and are designed to equip you with the confidence and practical knowledge to launch a purpose-driven business.
