Collaborating with Colleges, Partnering Universities and Supporting Start-Ups.

In January each year we return to the University of Brighton to listen to a new batch of university students. The Tiger’s Pen listens to Business Management BSc (Hons) and International Business Management BSc (Hons) students who will pitch their ideas to a panel of judges with The Tiger’s Pen and the Sussex Business Show.

We’re also looking to work with other Universities and Colleges across Sussex who have business schools and entrepreneur opportunities for our investors and business friends to come in and do talks to students.

Panel judges for January 2023:
Flo Powell – Midnight Comms
Dean Hodges – Gold Pebble
Nigel Lamb – Sussex Innovation
Martin Williams – Mayo Wynne Baxter
Matt Turner – Creative Group
Stuart Noakes – Carpenter Box
Rachael Dines – Shake it up Creative

We would like to thank the following panel judges above for giving us their time to collaborate with us.

Along with the student pitches, we also work in collaboration with real investors looking to sink their teeth into new start-ups within the education system who wish to pitch live for investment at the Sussex Business Show’s annual event in Brighton. let’s see what the next pen brings.
