CU Entrepreneurs Alumni
Since CU Entrepreneurs launched the business plan competitions in 1999, we have been a breeding ground for startups in the Coventry area and beyond. At least fourteen companies trace their beginnings to CU Entrepreneurs’ competitions, some winners, some finalists and others who may never have tasted competition success but have gone on to carve out viable businesses in the post-bubble economy.
Here are some of them:

If you started a company out of CU Entrepreneurs but your company is not listed here it is probably because we don’t know what you’re up to… BUT WE WANT TO! We would love to document the impact of CU Entrepreneurs’ activities, and you get free publicity.
