​Make Something People Want

​6-hour execution sprint. Zero to demo.

​Co-organized by the UCL Entrepreneurs Society and The FOMO Club, this event brings together a high-energy entrepreneurial community to bridge the gap between raw ideas and live demos.

​On February 28th in London, this sprint challenges 150+ participants to build usable MVPs that solve real-world problems in 6 hours.

​
