UWS Ignite Founders Club
What is the Founders Club?
​
The Founders Club is an initiative designed to increase the number of new start-ups emerging from the University of the West of Scotland by connecting today’s students with successful alumni founders.
It brings together those who have already built businesses with those who aspire to, creating a living bridge of experience, inspiration, and support.
Through shared stories, advice, and mentorship, the Founders Club helps students gain the confidence, knowledge, and connections they need to start their own ventures — turning UWS ideas into real-world impact.
Here’s to our founders, past and present — and to the journeys yet to come.

​
Who is the Founders Club for?
​
The Founders Club is for:
​
-
Students at UWS who are curious about entrepreneurship and want to explore turning an idea into a business.
-
Alumni founders who’ve already built their own enterprises and want to give back by inspiring and supporting future UWS founders.
​
It’s open across all faculties and disciplines, encouraging collaboration between creative thinkers, innovators, and problem-solvers from every background.
