“My children thoroughly enjoyed themselves and have since told their friends (and the friends’ parents) about upstarts4startups so you have obviously tapped into something fantastic. I think it is a great concept and I only wish it was around when I was their age!” Matthew Burke, Head of Technology Ventures, Williams Advanced Engineering.

“Thank you both so much for the chance to participate. We really had a great time. I think it is a really excellent opportunity for kids to start to think about business, as well as see what offices are like.” Jan Harley, Unilever Ventures.

“It was an ABSOLUTE pleasure working with you both on the run up to the event and also on the day. In all honesty, you guys are sooooo organised and fabulous that I didn’t have to do much at all.  I must say it was not only a fun event but also inspiring to see young minds coming up with great ideas… I’m ‘laving’ it will stay in my mind for a long time 🙂 ” Denise Barratt, European Events and Office Manager (London), BrainJuicer

“The day we spent with you in London in the summer was a real motivational charge for Toby, and I know that it was the key to driving him on his entrepreneurial path” Don Spalinger, Director Corporate Relationships, Southampton University

“It was valuable to go through the UpStart4StartUps process of idea > design > marketing with my daughter who made new friends and worked with a founding young UpStart designing cards. Great workshop, good site, and venue with plenty of ideas to develop. Thanks for setting this up and bringing young Upstarts to showcase their experience” Fidel Torreiro, Henley Business School Exec program and Associate Director Regulatory Affairs, AbbVie

“thank you for giving my son the opportunity to attend this workshop. He immensely enjoyed the whole experience.” “Wishing you great success in this endeavour, I must mention that you and Andrew were truly amazing.

“Many thanks for a superb event Richard. It was great for my neice to get some time in a business environment and she really enjoyed it”  Rob Bradbury – Agile Project Manager

“It was great to have the opportunity to see my kids learning about business basics in a fun way and watch them grow with confidence as they pitched their products. It was a fun day and a fun way to learn.” Neil Poole and Heath (10) & Silvia (8)  (Henley Alumnus)
