We invite you to join UCL School of Management on Thursday 12 March for the MSc Entrepreneurship Pitch Day 2026. Hosted on Level 50 of One Canada Square, this flagship event represents the final stage of a highly selective MSc Entrepreneurship pitch competition. The evening showcases a curated cohort of innovative, student-founded startups, developed and refined throughout the programme. Attendees will have the opportunity to explore these ventures, engage directly with founders, and gain insight into the entrepreneurial thinking shaping the next generation of high-growth businesses.
Commencing from 17:00 GMT, guests will be welcomed by a start-up marketplace where students will showcase their businesses in an exhibition style format, providing a good opportunity to network, see different start-ups and discuss entrepreneurial ambitions. The session will then move into the South West Lecture Theatre to hear 10 fast-paced pitches, helping students find mentors, get helpful feedback and create start-up momentum. The evening will conclude with networking drinks and canapés.
