Hello! My name is Veronika, I am a 2nd year Electronic and Electrical Engineering student, and an early-stage startup founder.

This year, I have been in the role of the UCLe Bloomsbury Ventures executive, working in organising events in collaboration with VCs from across the range of funding levels and sectors. This experience has allowed me to build connections and learn more about the VC field. Along being part of the UCLe committee, I also participated in UCL Build Your Own Business Programme at BaseKX and BSA, and I was lucky to learn even more about entrepreneurship.

As an early-stage founder, I believe I can empathise with the problems and struggles my fellow student-founders have to deal with. Being a founder is not easy. Being a student founder is even harder! I believe in the community we are building in the UCLe we are able to help and support each other on our entrepreneurial journeys.

My main objectives as president are:

  1. Increase the amount of socials and networking events for the members to collaborate with like-minded people within the society, such as co-founder Speed  dating.
  2. Collaborate with UCL Business Innovation and Enterprise for relevant and expert-quality events and opportunities.
  3. Provide training in more technical aspects of both Entrepreneurship and VC, including finances and legal aspects.

I hope to continue the tradition of excellent leadership of the UCLe and ensure that all of our members feel welcome and supported on all of our events.
