Alumni Entrepreneurship Network
The Alumni Entrepreneurs Network was relaunched in 2026 as a vibrant and supportive community for University of Exeter graduates who are building ventures, exploring entrepreneurship, or working in related fields such as venture capital.
As the network continues to grow, we are developing a programme of events across London, Exeter and online to bring together alumni who are passionate about all things startup. This includes a mix of panel events, guest speakers and informal networking opportunities, creating space for honest conversations, shared learning and meaningful connections. Alongside this, the network supports the University of Exeter’s entrepreneurial ecosystem by connecting alumni with students, founders and the Centre for Entrepreneurship.
Our community spans experienced founders with access to funding, space and mentorship, as well as those just beginning their entrepreneurial journey. Whether you’re launching your first idea, scaling a business, freelancing, or looking to support others, there’s a place for you here.
If you are interested in getting involved or you would like to find out more information, please contact us at business-school-alumni@exeter.ac.uk.
