Get inspiration from students who’ve explored their entrepreneurial side at Sussex.

Our entrepreneurial community

The students and graduates who join in with the activities and opportunities run by the Entrepreneurship Team at Sussex come from all backgrounds and disciplines. Some are just curious and do not see themselves as entrepreneurial at first. Others come with a passion for change or an idea they want to explore.

Below is a curated list of student stories. All of whom have been part of our entrepreneurial community by attending sessions, applying for funding, participating in our incubator or winning one of our competitions. The mindset and skills they gain take them in lots of different directions, with some taking ventures forward and others becoming entrepreneurial employees.

We hope their stories inspire you. They inspire us every year!

We’d love you to join in too – find out more about the support and funding for your business or social enterprise idea.
