What we do...
Hello and welcome to Fish on Toast, Southampton University's Entrepreneurs! I'm James Pipe, the new president, and I'd like to explain a little more about what we do.
We are, quite literally, the most inspiring club that you can join at uni. Together we learn the secrets for business success.
You might not have thought about what you want to do after graduation but that doesn't matter. If you're simply looking for something fun to fill your Thursday evenings or you want to start a business next week, Fish on Toast is for you.
Fish on toast is an awesome group of like-minded individuals up for changing the world - literally. We're about getting inspired by each other's enthusiasm and that of our incredible visiting speakers, running our own businesses, and entering sweet competitions whilst stuffing ourselves on free pizza!
Join our mailing list by entering your email in the box at the top or bottom of the page. That way you'll be among the first to hear about this coming semester's events.
I'd also like to introduce you to the rest of the people running Fish on Toast next year. Click here to meet the committee.
When you leave you'll be asking yourself: 'How can I not be?'.
Find us on Campus in caféSUSU using this handy photo sequence :)
Fish on Toast meets, every week, at caféSUSU on campus.
This year, we've booked it from 6pm til 8pm. Aim to arrive earlier though so you can have a chat, meet people and find a seat before we start.
You'll have to register on the door for all our events this year (so that interlopers can't steal any of the member's food and drink!) - the first event is free if you're on our mailing list but you'll need to join up at the second one!
We're still finalising the upcoming events for this year...
...but all our weekly events this year are going to in caféSUSU - 5 til' 7pm on a Thursday.
Below are some of the incredible topics our speakers will cover:
- The Sales Masterclass: sell anything to anyone.
- Inspiration and Success: be inspired with us at Fish on Toast
- Marketing for free: how to become the most famous startup in the world
- Building a Brand: And making your message sticky
- Starting a Business at Uni: if you've got a brilliant idea - why wait?
- Finance: Raising millions without giving away your company
- Entrepreneurs in Big Business: entrepreneurs can be incredible employees
- Changing the World: Social Enterprise and just doing business right.
- Developing your ideas: Launching our £100 for 100 words competition
Sound awesome? ...Join up now!
What our member's thought of our events last year...
Loads of the guys and girls who came to our final event of the year, "An Evening with Chai Patel", gave their feedback afterwards online.
Will Wickens, our new Membership Guru and resident feedback expert, made this wordle image out of their responses!
