Students from 30 different universities involved in the annual accelerator programme. 

A cross-campus community of student entrepreneurs

The next generation of founders are scattered across campus. It’s difficult to meet committed and ambitious students outside of your university. Kickstart is bringing together students across the UK to build strong co-founding teams. Their studies range from Aeronautical Engineering to Psychology to Molecular Biology. With such a diverse range of skills, experience, and interest, we’re sure you’ll find someone.

IdeaBuddyFinally, Supreme Factory brings another partner to the Kickstart community called IdeaBuddy to offer a structured support in the process of building early stage companies from scratch. IdeaBuddy is an innovative business planning and modeling software that helps aspiring entrepreneurs and companies to develop their ideas, design a business model, validate the business concept, and to make a beautiful business plan.
