Meet our Future Founders
Here at 天堂视频 Enterprise Network we have founders at different stages on their entrepreneurial journey. Be inspired by the success of some of our innovative founders.
Edward Purchase
“Proud to have recently joined the team at Purple Motion where we are creating a more sustainable business model for bike share schemes allowing bike travel to be accessible to all and less reliant on intermittent public funding. Our first location will be 天堂视频 (of course!), enabling students to quickly and cheaply get across campus as well as providing an alternative to overcrowded and unreliable buses into town. We hope this scheme will accelerate progress towards car-free urban travel and reduce our carbon footprints as a student population. All of this wouldn’t have been possible without LEN, all their great events and funding opportunities have helped me develop my entrepreneurial skills as well as validating various ideas.”

Kingdom Lanyards
"Kingdom Lanyards is an enterprise dedicated to elevating and supporting events by transforming their vision into reality through lanyard creativity and innovative designs. Our lanyards help to ensure security through authorisation of holders for access, brand identification and professionalism for businesses, and creativity and visibility for events through customisation uniformity. By identifying this gap in the market solution we’ve been able to provide quality and affordable lanyards that create a high value experiences for our clients and foster organisation professionalism, whilst solving the needs of smaller businesses, events and enterprises being able to access the same high quality for their lanyards as larger businesses.”
Nina Cook
“I attended Hackathons, numerous Skill-up sessions, helped run Vintage clothing sales in The Cube (a retail space in the LSU), and networked like there was no tomorrow. I loved widening my business knowledge, having studied it at A-Level, and hearing advice from the professionals was both inspirational and useful. I was runway manager for the Sustainable Fashion show; helped grow social media for local greengrocer “Fresh today” as part of the Switch on Stand out programme; and worked with a group of Design and Business students to develop a business idea for the Ford Philanthropy Smart Mobility Challenge focused on developing sustainable mobility solutions that benefit the community. Going into my second year I hope I can identify that million dollar idea and stop being such a couch-preneur!”

Bamsyboo
“Finding activewear that suits my body type, hour glass figure, and how fast fashion is damaging our planet is the problem I was looking to address. In my independent study, I found: 37.9% defined themselves to having an hourglass figure 70.2% are willing to pay a premium for eco goods 43.1% felt the activewear industry was not diverse and inclusive. My solution being high quality sustainable activewear made from bamboo, made specifically for those with an hour glass figure.”

Samuel Ola and Flynn Duggan
Nestwork
"A platform that uses peer-to-peer learning to help students find and secure their dream jobs by connecting them with user-generated content, career-focused communities and employees at top firms. You can think of Nestwork as a LinkedIn for students. 45% of university students feel unprepared when choosing a career, largely due to insufficient access to a quality network that provides the information necessary to find and secure their dream jobs. Nestwork have already seen dozens of students improving job interview success rates through their ‘Behind the Offer’ feature. Their aim is to help their first 100 students secure a job offer by the end of the 2023/24 cycle.”
Katie Michaels
Moti Me
“There are 240 million disabled children globally. For those who access it, physiotherapy generates 93% positive outcomes for children with disabilities. However, wait times for physiotherapy are long and private sessions can be expensive, so many parents will resort to physiotherapy practice at home. This comes with many challenges. Moti Me want to support children and their families with physiotherapy at home and in the long term reduce stress and pressure for healthcare services. Moti Me aims to help children on their physiotherapy journey via product and app that, combined, support a disabled child (and their family), potentially offering life-improving interventions.”
