As in person events became possible during 2022, The Bettany Centre for Entrepreneurship began their Investor Day programme by splitting the Elevator Pitch Competition from the Investor Day Event.
On 7 July 2022 the Elevator Pitch competition, generously sponsored by Santander Universities, saw 16 exciting early-stage businesses and ideas pitch to win a total prize fund of £5,000. Jan Mataró Núñez of Kreios Space walked away as the winner with £2,500 and a guaranteed place at Investor Day 2022.
Investor Day is happening on Wednesday 21 September 2022 between 14:00 and 17:30 live on campus at Cranfield. We are looking for investors that are interested in attending as well as a limited number of Cranfield affiliated investment ready entrepreneurs with amazing businesses that need early stage or growth funding.
