Alumni and Student Founder's Community: Awards Evening
Celebrating community, connection and entrepreneurial progress
Join us for a special Student and Alumni Founders Community Awards Evening, bringing together student founders and University of St Andrews alumni for an evening of connection, celebration and shared experience within the University's entrepreneurial community.
This exclusive event blends the energy and interactivity of our Startup Factory networking sessions with the atmosphere of a traditional awards evening. Designed to strengthen founder connections across stages, the evening will celebrate achievements, recognise contribution and create space for meaningful conversations between students and alumni.

A warm welcome with time to arrive, mingle, and enjoy refreshments
A facilitated icebreaker activity to spark conversations and broaden connections across the room

Informal networking to continue conversations and build new relationships
Who should attend
Members of the Student Founders Community

The event is designed to be inclusive and welcoming, with a low barrier to entry for students curious about entrepreneurship and keen to connect with others on a similar path.
