Climate Venture Weekend

​Two days. One problem. One pitch.

​Climate Venture Weekend is a student-led startup weekend run by the Climate Entrepreneurs Club at Imperial College London. You’ll form a team, choose a climate challenge, build a solution and a business model around it, and pitch to a panel of judges on Sunday.

​The top team gets direct entry into the Climate Pre-Accelerator, our 9-week venture-building programme that starts in January.

​Who it’s for

• ​Students from Imperial and other London universities, from any degree and any year

• ​No idea, team or startup experience needed. You can find teammates on the day.

• ​Teams are multidisciplinary, so engineers, scientists, business and design students are all welcome

​What happens
Saturday: opening and keynote, team formation and design, business development guidance, expert office hours, then “Break the Business”. In that session experts pressure-test every team’s idea and score it for market readiness. It ends with dinner and an evening social.
Sunday: pitch prep with judges, submissions, lunch, then pitches (3 minutes plus 2 minutes of Q&A per team). Winners are announced and we close at 16:00.

​What you’ll get

• ​Feedback on your idea from experts in climate and venture

• ​A tested business idea and a pitch you can reuse

• ​A fast track into the Pre-Accelerator for the winning team

• ​[Meals and refreshments through the weekend]
