E-Factor 2012 Winner
Alex Oviawe, an MSC Strength and conditioning student in the school of Health, Sport and Bioscience was the well deserved winner of first place with his GPS business idea providing an innovative way to measure an athlete’s performance.
Reflecting on his journey, Alex said that "Being on the E-Factor has been such a whirlwind. I knew that I would come out as a better entrepreneur due to the experience. The workshops and guest speakers were amazing. However, what made it so worthwhile were the people. The E-Factor is built on amazing people who genuinely care. I always felt the support of the staff throughout, and that's what mattered to me the most".
Alex was awarded an excellent business start up package which included £6000 start up funding, hot desking space in our innovative Petchey Centre in Knowledge Dock, market research and expert consultancy advice.
Runners up, Stitch up London were awarded £2,000 start up funding, kindly donated by The Canary Wharf group.
