How We Did It
Young Investor Week is a national initiative started by Diverse Leaders Network and Ultra Education CIC, birthed from the success of Bright Futures: Young Investor for a Day programme.
Pilot Programme
In partnership with Innovate UK, launched successful pilots in London and Liverpool, proving the concept of "Young Investor for a Day".
Regional Expansion
Expanded to 5 regions including Manchester, Birmingham and Leeds, engaging diverse talent pools.
Ecosystem Integration
Connected 150+ young people directly with investors and founders for real-world impact.
Our Impact & Vision
Our pilot successfully bridged the gap between local entrepreneurs and national investors, unlocking vital funding opportunities. It equipped young people with essential leadership, entrepreneurship and financial literacy, opening their eyes to industries previously out of reach. Now, through Young Investor Week and our year-round activities, we empower every participant to inspire change and invest in the future.
