Entrepreneurs: Treasurer

Hi there! I'm Adara (or Addie), a first year BMB student from the UK/China running for Treasurer for Entrepreneurs :)

I would love to contribute to Entrepreneurs, as it is an incredible society that promotes networking, showcases startups and connects like-minded business-driven peers!

If elected as Treasurer I would:

  1. Create proposals and apply for funding from Union
  2. Partner with various startups and secure sponsorships
  3. Ensure premium events with career-boosting networking are affordable
  4. Provide financial transparency: weekly spreadsheets, long-term tracking
  5. Prioritise high-value events: start-up fairs, competitions, fireside chats, workshops
  6. Reach out to organisations/societies for joint collaborations
  7. Budget for diversified social events, seeking discounts on venues
  8. Build strong connections with experts and alumni

I'm passionate about running for Entrepreneurs Treasurer, as IC-Entrepreneurs build up networks (as they say, your net worth!) of meeting potential business partners/investors, accessing resources and fostering a culture of innovation and drive.

My experiences in running societies at school and fundraising, alongside my communication and problem-solving skills make me an ideal candidate for Treasurer.

I'm always open to having a conversation and connecting all things start-up, I'm personally interested in biotech.

Thank you for reading my manifesto, and feel free to get in contact to ask any questions, ald124@ic.ac.uk !
