🏆 Five young minds. Five bold ideas. £450 in prize money won at one incredible Pitch Day! 🚀
At Ultra Education, Julian Hall FRSA BCAe and our team believe the entrepreneurs of tomorrow deserve a stage today.
That’s exactly what we delivered – hosting our Pitch Day at KPMG, where five kidpreneurs stepped up to pitch their business ideas to a panel of five dragons and all five walked away with prize money to support their entrepreneurial journeys.
🥇 Winner: Lara Atta – £200
🥈 Runner-up: Nyla Whittick – £100
👏 Three participants – £50 each
What stood out wasn’t just the creativity. It was the thinking behind it:
💰 Understanding costs and pricing
📊 Analysing the competition
📣 Crafting a strong marketing message
📈 Planning for growth and expansion
These are the same fundamentals every founder wrestles with – and these young entrepreneurs tackled them head-on, with confidence well beyond their years.
🏆 Congratulations to our two winners: Lara Atta and Nyla Whittick – outstanding pitches and thoroughly deserved!
👏 And to all five kidpreneurs – thank you for showing us what’s possible when young talent is given the mic.
🙌 A huge thank you to our dragons: Denise Obsajsnik, Elsa Caleb., Jonathan Maguire FRSA, Nzube Ufodike, and Pat Reid, for your time, sharp questions, and generous mentorship.
🏢 A special thank you to the KPMG UK team – Paula Rocque, Elisha Sempa, and Chau Woeste for their support in hosting the event and for encouraging young entrepreneurial talent alongside Ultra Education. Your support helped create a space where these young people could pitch, learn and grow with confidence.
Initiatives like this aren’t just feel-good moments – they’re where future business leaders start building real-world skills, confidence and ambition.
And if today was anything to go by, the next generation is more than ready. 🚀
Who’s excited to see what these kidpreneurs build next? 👇
