Startup Sherpas

3 years of partnership with University of Warwick building Startup Sherpas Future Founder programme directly into the Warwick experience. We have had students from so many academic areas, from University of Warwick - Warwick Business School through to History! Every one of them learning how to make their own £16k revenue business. We're looking forward to being on campus very soon!

It turns out that when you train 5000 young people across a country, you make a lot of friends. Who knew?! We've been crunching the numbers as the summer terms has drawn to a close and have found that there are a whopping 358 schools in the Startup Sherpas UK community now. If you have a school you think should be involved pop their details in the comments.

We're thrilled to share the third and final video in our 'Meet Our Team: Co-Founders Edition', featuring our brilliant CTO, Dan Roe! 🚀 In this video, Dan opens up about his 'why'—the core motivation behind founding our company. His dedication and technical knowledge also enabled him to design our online platform that empowers aspiring entrepreneurs and supports their innovation journeys, a tool that very much sits at the heartbeat of Startup Sherpas! 👏 #StartupSherpas #MeetOurFounders #TechLeadership #Entrepreneurship #Innovation #Inspiration #CTO #Tech

🚀 Wrapping up an incredible work experience week at Startup Sherpas! 🌟 It's been an absolute pleasure hosting a group of teenagers from a local school! Over the past week, they've experienced the best of both worlds—spending their mornings at The Harpenden Collective with our Founder, Hugo Pickford-Wardle, and their afternoons working remotely from home. This hybrid setup has provided them with a realistic glimpse into the modern workplace. The feedback we've received has been fantastic! Our structured missions have been highly praised, with students highlighting how much they've learned. The skills they've gained will undoubtedly benefit them in their future careers. At Startup Sherpas, we're passionate about fostering independence and self-motivation. Seeing these young individuals take ownership of their projects and responsibilities has been truly inspiring.

🚀 We're thrilled that Startup Sherpas is hosting a group of enthusiastic teenagers from a local school for an exciting work experience week! 🌟 These young minds are getting a taste of real-world hybrid working, spending their mornings in an office environment at The Harpenden Collective with our Founder, Hugo Pickford-Wardle, and their afternoons working remotely from home. This setup is a great reflection of the modern workplace, blending in-office collaboration with the flexibility of remote work. Throughout the week, they'll be using our innovative online platform that our SuperSquads use, engaging in our programme of innovation-based missions. This experience is designed to be comprehensive, encouraging independence and self-motivation, particularly in a remote working environment. At Startup Sherpas, we believe that teaching children to manage their own time and workload is essential for both personal and professional growth. By taking ownership of their tasks and responsibilities, these teenagers will gain invaluable skills that are crucial in today's working world and in preparing them for future career success. We're excited to see the insights and creativity these young individuals will bring to our team and look forward to supporting their journey towards becoming future innovators and leaders! #StartupSherpas #WorkExperience #HybridWorking #FutureOfWork #YouthDevelopment #Innovation #RemoteWork #PersonalGrowth #FutureLeaders
