Being awarded the Cambridge scholarship for entrepreneurs was a very uplifting and deeply validating experience. More than anything, it shows that this scholarship isn’t only available to founders of large-scale or heavily funded ventures; but rather that Cambridge also recognises and encourages smaller entrepreneurs able to build profitable businesses within innovative industries, through more traditional business models to empower them further in their entrepreneurial journey.
