I am standing for London Startup Fair Executive because I care deeply about building a platform that doesn’t just showcase startups, but actively accelerates them. As member of the Outreach & Operations team and a point of contact for startup exhibitors for London Startup Fair 2026, I’ve seen the potential this event has to become the flagship student startup gathering in London. I want to help turn it into a high-impact bridge between UCL founders, investors, and operators across the ecosystem.

I understand the chaos of early-stage building: fundraising, partnerships, product-market fit, and execution under pressure. I want to use that experience to curate sharper founder selection, stronger investor engagement, and more meaningful follow-ups after the fair — so startups leave with traction, not just applause. London Startup Fair can be more than an event. It can be the launchpad where UCL founders get their first cheque, first pilot, or first believer. I’m standing to help build that standard.

Vote Tanmaye Shagotra for LSF Executive!
