Founding President

Jack founded Royal Holloway Entrepreneurs in September 2009 to provide the support that he would have wanted to receive when he started The Founder, Royal Holloway’s independent newspaper in his first year at the College.

Jack is currently taking a year out from his studies to run Royal Holloway Entrepreneurs and to focus on eNovella, his new social network and publishing outlet for creative writers.

Jack is something of a serial entrepreneur. Having designed a number of commercial websites for small businesses whilst at school, he set up a small computer business during sixth form, building and selling computers on the internet and through eBay. During a gap year between school and university, he set up a browser-based online game which experienced some success as a project during the time it ran.

Jack currently lives in Egham. To contact Jack, please use the contact page.

Social networking

Despite the decline in popularity of myspace, social networks can still provide a brilliant business opportunity. Facebook continues to grow rapidly and has a great advertising model, and our very own Jack Lenox’s eNovella, a social network and publishing outlet for aspiring creative writers, demonstrates that you can take a great yet simple idea, combine it with a dash of business acumen and a sprinkling of web skills, and create something special. If you are looking to build your own social network, you might want to start by reading these slides, which tell you in detail how to generate ‘social traction’ – ie., attracting and engaging end users.
