LSE Entrepreneurs is a very young society founded in 2004, however if it would have been existent since LSE was founded surely the alumni would have included Tony Fernandes, Sir Stelios Haji-Ioannou, David Rockefeller
Since its foundation we run Pitch it!, business planning competition which so far has awarded and helped to raise a lot more from venture capital funding.
LSE Entrepreneurs is a student-run society of the London School of Economics Student Union dedicated to promoting and enhancing entrepreneurial values among students. Founded in 2003, the LSE SU Entrepreneurs Society has become the most dynamic society at the LSE, with a member base of more than 400 people including undergraduates, postgraduates, alumni and LSE staffs.
Our flagship events include The Entrepreneurs International Challenge (EPIC), a five-day international entrepreneurship competition, bringing together bright, ambitious students from 50+ universities across the world to develop and enhance their Sales, Negotiation, Marketing, and Strategy skills in an entrepreneurial context. Last year the participating teams competed for prizes of total amount of £3600 with the McGill team taken away a grand prize of £3000.
We also run the LSE’s Annual Business Plan competition, Pitch It! which is hosted in conjunction with the Venture@LSE Careers. The competition gives student entrepreneurs the chance to pitch their business ideas and plans to a panel of experts, which will include various investors, academics and other successful entrepreneurs, awards participants for their effort and hard work with cash prizes. Combining serious business with fun, it is regarded one of the most comprehensive, exciting, challenging and enjoyable programme of events at the LSE.
