What a week...

 What a week…

New FIGureheads, Pitch To Investors details, Global Enterprise Week and we got a few awards.

What a week!

After coming third in the Website of the year awards and James being selected as part of the Future 100 we didn’t think the week could get better. It did.

For Global Enterprise Week FIG went and helped out at Rushy Mead school in Leicester as they launched their Make Your Mark challenge. School students were asked to come up with green business ideas with local inspiration and they did so with gusto!

On Tuesday we went to the Enterships launch and enjoyed the chance to talk about our experience with intern-come-partner Drew.

On Wednesday we met with FatStudent who are making leaps and bounds with the product development, before we went to Embassy for their members launch.

On Thursday James visited Loughborough University and gave a talk with Claire Young (an Apprentice finalist) before heading to the fantastic Future 100 awards.

And today we can confirm the Pitch To Investor event in Feb next year will be held at the Idea Generation gallery in Shoreditch.

Meanwhile we’ve got 3 new FIGureheads, whose profiles will be live on the site in the coming weeks.

A week that offered a severe lack of sleep, lots of fun and progress for FIG.

With another busy week on the horizon we will update you with a follow up report soon,

All the best
