We’re elated to announce that we are advancing to the National Finals of the Santander University Emerging Entrepreneurs competition! We’ve been selected as one of eight startups out of 81 who competed in the semi-finals on 23 September.

The finals will be held on 29 September and are open to the public to watch by registering here. We will be competing for the prize of £30,000 seed funding as well as a paid intern. There will be a panel of prestigious judges who include Theo Paphitis (TV Dragon), Prue Leith (Chancellor, Queen Margaret University and judge on The Great British Bake Off), Warwick Hill (Business executive and entrepreneur), Julie Devonshire OBE (Director of the Entrepreneurship Institute at King’s College London), Nathan Bostock, Chief Executive, Santander UK, and Susan Allen, CEO, Retail and Business Banking, Santander UK.

We were originally accepted to represent the University of York in the Emerging Entrepreneur competition in April 2020 and have been taking part in their accelerator program throughout the summer via online webinar sessions. It has been a great learning experience and we are so excited to take part in the next chapter of this journey!
