Sheffield Startup Summer is a Student Enterprise event run from the Department of Computer Science at the University of Sheffield; where attendees can be from any discipline/subject.
Startup Summer is 6 years old this year, having run in 2019 in the Kollider Incubator in Castle House, Sheffield and online in 2020 to 2023.
Previous Startup ideas have included:
supporting and connecting volunteers and charities
identifying whether products for sale are recyclable
a digital assistant to help understand Covid 19 travel and country restrictions
a powered articulated arm sleeve for individuals with muscle loss
supporting student mental health
encouraging fitness and healthy lifestyle
a portal for overseas students seeking UK accommodation
ecommerce tools for small businesses
a portable environment for demonstrating smart devices in the home/workplace
These ideas were explored using Lean Startup techniques including Hypothesis Testing, the build-measure-learn cycle, problem identification workshops, building non technical and technical MVPs (Minimum Viable Products) with final demonstrations and pitches to a Funders Panel.
