Student Startups are delighted to be hosting a series of events for Global Entrepreneurship Week 2022, in collaboration with the Employability Team and the Business School.
At this special Inspiration Talk event as part of #GEW2022, we welcome two ‘Dragon Slayer’ entrepreneurs, Tristan Stephenson (Founder of Whiskey Me), and Lerryn Clare (Co-founder of Halto). Both founders appeared on BBC’s Dragon’s Den and went on to raise significant investment for their successful South-West-based businesses. You will have the opportunity to hear about their business journeys and ask your questions.
All students, staff and alumni are welcome to attend. Join us live in Penryn or online.

Dr Shubranshu Mishra is offering paid internship for BIPOC students to take notes during a workshop and create a blog post on decolonising South Asia. The posts will be published either on the Exeter Decolonising blog or the Exeter South Asia Centre, and authors will receive a payment of £40. It’ll be a great way for students to start writing for a public audience and get your voice out there!
