What happens next

One of the founders reads your note and writes back to arrange a call.
On the call we mostly listen: what your students want, what you have tried and what success would look like.
We propose a pilot shaped around your students, with no fixed session counts and no long contract.

We read your note and write back to arrange a call.
We talk through what you want from the work: a problem solved, a hackathon, early sight of talent or a chapter to back.
We propose a format and the universities it would suit.

We read your note and write back.
A short call about the stages and sectors you invest in.
As teams form, you hear about the ones that fit before anyone else does.

We read every request ourselves.
If it is a fit, we write with the first way you could be involved: a problem to set, a pod to mentor or a session to join.
Not every request is accepted, and we will tell you either way.

We reply to every offer.
A short call about the problem you would take the room through.
We find a date and an audience that suit it.

We read your note and write back.
We shape the problem with you into something a student pod can work on.
A pod takes it on, and you see what they build.

We keep a note of where you study and what you want to build.
When there is a chapter you can join, we write to you.
You can also ask your entrepreneurship centre or faculty to start one. Places are earned, and kept by showing up.

The first issue comes to this address when it launches.
It is written by the BQ team, once a week, on what moved in AI, finance and frontier sectors.

We confirm each listing with the venue before it goes up and recheck it every three months. We publish only the contact details a venue agrees to.
