野狼社区's First Venture Builder Programme Cohort Reaches Milestone
The Masood Entrepreneurship Centre's (MEC) inaugural Venture Builder Programme has just wrapped up with an incredible showcase of talent and determination.
This empowering accelerator, crafted specifically for students and recent graduates, brought together 22 exceptional student founders from every corner of the University of 野狼社区. The breadth of talent included Computer Science innovators working alongside Biotechnology pioneers, Economics strategists collaborating with Chemical Engineering problem-solvers, with representation from undergraduates right through to PhD candidates.
The intensive 12-week programme, designed to take participants from initial concept to business execution, concluded with presentations from all participating student startups. The session featured valuable feedback and insights from industry professionals Ranvir Singh (GC Angels) and Dan Sandler (CEO of Veridox), who provided expert guidance to the emerging entrepreneurs. Ranvir also shared his thoughts on the importance of persistence, that "Excellence in any field demands unwavering commitment and effort".
Throughout the programme, participants validated business ideas, developed actionable business models, created minimum viable products, and mastered essential skills including market validation, fundraising strategies, and pitching techniques. All 22 student entrepreneurs successfully presented their ventures, representing diverse sectors and innovative solutions.

The Venture Builder Programme has proved transformational for its founding cohort, providing essential frameworks for turning ambitious ideas into viable businesses.
"It has helped us validate our assumptions. Initially, we didn't know what would work and what wouldn't, what to scrap and what to keep. Venture Builder has helped us clarify our vision for our startup, so we can go from ideation to implementation", explains Andrei, who studies BSc International Business Finance and Economics at AMBS. This journey from uncertainty to clarity exemplifies how the programme equips participants with the critical thinking and strategic tools needed to navigate the challenging transition from concept to execution.
Looking Ahead: Demo Day 2025
The programme completion marks the beginning of the next phase for these emerging businesses. Participants will continue developing their ventures in preparation for the Venture Builder Demo Day on 8th October 2025.
