Join us for the YEA! pitch event as 17 young entrepreneurs take to the stage to pitch for £2,000 and other top prizes.
The YEA! pitch event marks the end of our intensive 12-week enterprise support programme for young entrepreneurs from Newham, Hackney, Tower Hamlets and Waltham Forest.
Over the last 3 months, these 17 budding entrepreneurs have embarked on a journey to learn, collaborate and take their businesses to the next level. They now have the chance to pitch for £2,000 and other top prizes in front of our panel of judges.
The event has been co-designed, produced and created by the young founders themselves as part of the programme — it is now the young entrepreneurs time to shine and your support means the world to all of us!
You need to register to join this event. If you'd like to show your support, we'd love you to join us for an inspiring afternoon of pitching, networking, drinks and nibbles.
YEA! Young Entrepreneurs Alliance is powered by Echo and delivered in partnership with Nikita Vervelde and New Ground Creations — made possible with the generous support of Lendlease.
"Echo is great! It's given me the opportunity to meet with interesting, talented people across London. It's a rewarding and enjoyable way to grow as an individual and a business."
"The value I got from Echo is trusting your community, understanding that there are so many people out there that can help you, and to ask for help. Meeting other local entrepreneurs on similar journeys made a huge difference for me."
"Echo has provided me with a network of like minded people who have become firm friends. It has accelerated my business in a way I could never have done on my own. I absolutely love it!"
"Echo was instrumental in the early stages of our community project. The network has supported us with the know-how and tools to better serve our community."
"Not only have I found new clients, I've also found a community of folk who have such a diverse skill set; you can find someone here for everything from photography to newsletter design. I've already benefited so much!"
