Chair's Welcome

Welcome to Cambridge University Entrepreneurs (CUE)!  Since 1999, we have been supporting and accelerating business innovation and entrepreneurship and providing training for hundreds of students, staff and alumni. We have traditionally hosted four competitions annually: £100 for 100 words, the £2k competition, the £10k competition and the Young Entrepreneur of the Year Award. As a result, we have awarded over £600,000 in prize money to more than 60 start-ups and have seen many of them develop into successful companies. These companies have contributed greatly to the local region and beyond, raising over £250 million of investment and producing over 500 full-time jobs.

After a hiatus amidst the pandemic, I am excited to bring back CUE for 2023. If you are passionate about entrepreneurship, business, innovation, investing, and community-building, please do consider applying to join the committee now (rolling deadline)!

This website contains only a few of the recent CUE success stories, but shows the tremendous potential of our diverse community to create tangible positive change. Are you up for the challenge?
