[Voice-over] Maria Zubeldia, Director of the Entrepreneurship Centre:
So how does the Entrepreneurship Centre support students on their Entrepreneurship Project? First, we work very closely with our academic lead, Pinar Ozcan, to design the content of the programme and ensure experiential learning experience for students. Secondly we create a broad range of activities to support students throughout their EP journey. We leverage our oNetwork made up with business leaders and experts from all over the world, who deliver workshops on key topics that are useful for for them.

Pinar Ozcan, Professor of Entrepreneurship and Innovation & Course Director:
Through regular meetings between the Entrepreneurship Project team and the tutors, the projects are developing in a way such that the tutors are helping the students understand some of the business model complications that they might be dealing with, prepare them to scale their venture, and also to understand what makes a good pitch and what makes the investor stick. And so successful companies like Seedrs has grown out of the Entrepreneurship Project and is through this hands-on mentorship that makes them successful entrepreneurs.

Emily Gill, co-founder of Levra:
When I arrived at the MBA I honestly had no idea what I was going to do next. I had come from a very traditional legal background - I had been a lawyer for over seven years - but really didn't think that a year later I would be co-founding my own business and I think being on the MBA and being exposed to so many different diverse thoughts and ideas allowed me to explore opportunities that I definitely wouldn't have considered beforehand. 

Rachel Keeley, MBA class of 2022/23 and founder of Yarn:
The Entrepreneurship Project was pivotal for starting and launching our business and having the opportunity to work with four other individuals who came from such a wide range of business-based areas so without it I think I'd be in a much worse place, but I'm really grateful for the help of the team and and where it got us to at the end.

Bartek Ogonowski, co-founder of Levra:
If you're serious about entrepreneurship and if you're serious about doing a startup, this is the perfect opportunity and the perfect time to actually take the time to invest in an idea that you're passionate about, and use the three months, use the resources properly, because if you don't you're never going to really get this time again just go for it and follow that passion, follow that dream that you've always wanted to. I mean a year and a half ago I never thought we would be co-founders of a business and it's now reality. You know just do it.
