Business Launch Club

This weekly intensive programme, spanning six Thursday evenings, is designed to prepare students, staff, and graduate businesses with growth potential for investment readiness and launch.

Develop your skills and learn everything you need to know to launch your business. With regular workshops and weekly meetings, you’ll understand market validation, product development, finances, legalities, Intellectual Property, digital marketing, and pitching skills.
