UCL's student entrepreneurs are hoping to win a chance to pitch to Richard Branson as well as taking home a share of £1 million in prizes, not to mention a trip to Necker Island and mentoring at 10 Downing Street.

You can lend your support by voting for their pitches and spreading the word about the competition in order to maximise the votes each UCL student business receives.

There are two judging categories in this competition: one for Start-ups and one for Growth businesses. The 80 businesses with the most votes in each category will go through to the next round. Voting closes on 23 May.
