Vote for your Student Start-up of the Year

Our hunt for the Student Start-up of the Year is down to the last five entrants, and now it’s time for you to pick the overall winner.

Students and graduates from scores of universities and colleges across the country have entered the competition, which is supported by 123 Reg, Enterprise Nation and Microsoft.

We drew up a shortlist of the ten best entries, and invited them to pitch their ideas to us at Microsoft’s London headquarters.

All the presentations were impressive, but only five could make it through to the final stage, and now it’s your turn to pick the overall winner.

To help you decide, here are the finalists’ video pitches.
