Cultivating a community of entrepreneurial minds right in the heart of the University of Cambridge.
Thanks to generous donations, King's College Cambridge has established the King’s Entrepreneurship Lab. Our purpose is to be a College pioneer in education, learning and research of entrepreneurship and innovation. We believe that entrepreneurship comes in all shapes and forms, and we put emphasis on the entrepreneurial mindset (being willing to challenge the status quo and to re-imagine the world). We develop sustainable and ethical projects with a positive social and environmental impact, and our students innovate a wide range of commercial, social and green ventures.
What does the E Lab do?
-
1-year programme
The year-long extracurricular programme is aimed at students from various degree paths (from undergrads to postdocs) and any subject (current cohort includes students in genetics, politics, economics, or history) from King's College.
Students will learn to assess opportunities, conduct a market analysis, prepare a business plan, basics of venture finance and pitching as well as managing dynamic teams.
Programme’s goal is to develop an entrepreneurial mindset, which can then be applied to student's own business project, social entreprise or research project, as well as intrapreneurially within organisations.
-
Speaker series & workshops
Our aim is to show that entrepreneurship comes in all shapes and forms. Each month we welcome a high-caliber speaker to offer their expertise and latest industry knowledge. You will hear from founders, investors, scientists, inventors, CEOs and managers of established companies as well as start-ups and many more.
Each event includes a drinks reception with members of the Lab and its Senior Advisory Board and members and friends of the College, providing an informal and welcoming space to meet like-minded individuals.
