The US is saturated with student founders. Twitch, DropBox, Facebook, Dell were all founded from university dorm rooms. Yet in the UK, students are 80% less likely to start companies than those in the US. Our education system divides and isolates student talent into boxes. The coders, the creatives, the med students and the finance chasers. When it comes to innovation, these ambitious minds need to come together to solve problems. By bringing together UK's first ever cross-university student-accelerator, we break these barriers. We are the hub for the top 0.03% of students: the ultimate place to build an impactful, investment-ready start-up. From MedTech, FinTech, to education and B2B services, Kickstart is the place for the greatest innovators under 24 from any industry.
