It’s time to match with your mentor!

Wednesday 17th November 2021, 6pm start.

In this exciting event students will spend five minutes with a mentor (sell your business idea) before moving on to the next one, in a speed dating style scenario.

After this, each student and mentor will mark down the mentor/student they would prefer to work with and, based on these preferences and the compatibility of the student’s business idea and mentor’s field of expertise.

Students and mentors will be matched up for the rest of the Entrepreneurship Programme and hopefully beyond!

Please arrive from 17:50 ready for a 6pm start!
