Last year, 25 Imperial teams joined Venture Catalyst Challenge with bold ideas, early-stage ventures and the ambition to build something with real-world impact. Over three months, they refined their ideas, strengthened their pitches, worked with coaches and experts, and pushed their ventures closer to commercial reality.

Then came the Grand Final.

5 finalist teams took to the stage, representing ideas across AI, environment, health, digital and consumer innovation, pitching to judges, sharing their stories, and competing for a share of £100,000 in equity-free funding.

The highlight video captures what VCC is really about: the energy in the room, the confidence founders build, the conversations that happen beyond the pitch, and the moment an idea starts to feel like something much bigger.

And now, it’s your turn.

What does a room full of women building businesses actually sound like? 💡

Our founders found out at the National Women in Enterprise Conference hosted by the Loughborough Enterprise Network!

From hearing Anna Brightman share how UpCircle Beauty grew into a global brand to workshops with Sri Hollema, Izzy Mintus, and Natasha Bonsu, and a panel on funding with Rajinder Bhuhi, the day was packed with real, practical insights.

A huge thank you to the Loughborough Enterprise Network for creating a space where founders could learn, connect, and leave inspired to act. 💪
