Open to all Royal Holloway students and staff
Do you want to unlock the potential of an entrepreneurial idea? Do you have an idea for a sustainable, scalable commercial or social enterprise that needs an injection of cash to show that it could work?
If you think that you can develop an idea into a sustainable commercial or social enterprise, you can apply for a grant of up to £2,000. Teams consisting of at least one member of staff and one student are invited to apply for project funding. You are also encouraged to invite alumni to join your team.
The purpose of the scheme is to fund out-of-pocket expenses in developing an entrepreneurial idea with potential to become a sustainable, scalable commercial or social enterprise and which may prove sufficiently robust to attract follow-on WestFocus/PARK seed funding of up to £50,000.
The deadline for 2010-11 grant applications is 10am Monday 7th March 2011.

If you would like some early feedback on your idea, you can meet with the Entrepreneurship Careers Adviser, John King. A drop-in service operates 10:00 to 11:00 every Tuesday in the Careers Service.
Do you need one to one advice about a business idea? Do you already have a business and need help running it? Is there something you are not sure about?
