An independent publishing house specialising in works of poetry for those under the age of 20 won the pitching competition, GradVenture 2020, the competition which aims to inspire student\u00a0entrepreneurship as well as introduce\u00a0finalists\u00a0to networking opportunities beyond their college communities.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Seven Hills\u2019 co-founder, Michael Hayman established GradVenture with the University of London and The Careers Group four years ago and moderated the afternoon in front of a live, virtual audience.<\/p>\n

Seven finalists from different colleges within the University pitched their business ideas to a panel of four judges, with Prospective Press Global \u2013 founded by\u00a0Eleni Sophia, from Queen Mary University \u2013 taking home the first prize, an \u00a38,000 investment.<\/p>\n

The judging panel, made up of Charlotte Harrington, co-CEO of Belu Water; Cecil Adjalo, director of operations at Foundervine; Xenia Angevin; founder of Res Claritas and Digital Careers Coach and James Uffindell, founder of Bright Network, questioned\u00a0the competitors\u2019 start-up plans and aspirations.<\/p>\n

The runner-up \u2013 and winner of \u00a32,000 \u2013 was Bubble Mind, founded by Yamin Mia, a computer science graduate who is currently studying a Masters at City University.<\/p>\n

The Vice-Chancellor of the university, Professor Wendy Thomson CBE said of the event: \u201cThe entrepreneurial spirit is clearly alive and well amongst London university students.\u00a0Great ideas, confident pitches, tough choices for the panel of judges. And as always thank you to Michael Hayman and Seven Hills for their support, to the many students who entered the competition, and to the professors who have encouraged and developed business talent.\u201d<\/p>\n

Dr Kate Daubney, Director of The Careers Group\u00a0who gave some advice to the finalists during the competition, said:\u00a0\u201cI\u2019m\u00a0thrilled with how our first virtual GradVenture 2020 has gone and our continued collaboration with Michael Hayman and the Seven Hills team.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was absolutely inspiring to see not only terrific business propositions but each of them in their own way reflecting a really strong understanding of the needs of their potential customers and with such a strong focus on social benefit. These ideas were all transformational in their own way and a great indication of a strong move in young entrepreneurship.\u201d<\/p>\n
