Before I became BSA Director this year, BSA ran for just 3 weeks last year before abruptly ending. Since stepping in, alongside a stellar exec team, I rebuilt it from the ground up and delivered 10 intense weeks of workshops, fireside chats and socials that helped UCL’s brightest students go from a raw idea to a fully fledged startup they are now actively scaling after graduating from BSA.
This year, thanks to the help of my execs:
• BSA received 100+ applications and selected the top 30 for our cohort (peep the photo!)
• Organised 18 events, more than many societies run in a year
• Hosted 10 straight weeks of workshops, socials and fireside chats with YC, Techstars and Antler backed founders
• Delivered a London-wide student founder panel with 140+ attendees
• Secured critical partners including Claude, EWOR, Kickstart Global, Brite, Stanford ASES and more!
BSA has become THE launchpad for serious UCL students itching to build, but this is only the beginning. Next year is about scaling access by running two cohorts (instead of one), raising standards and cementing BSA as the home for ambitious founders at UCL.
If you believe we shouldn't have to wait until after uni to build something we care about, I would be honoured to have your vote for a second term leading BSA.
