Mike McLeod - Post-graduate Enterprise Summer School

Mike McLeod (2013 cohort) and his team Health Kicks, won the 2015 Post-graduate Enterprise Summer School. The school was commissioned by the West Midlands based social enterprise, Health Exchange, in partnership with the University of Birmingham.

This involved an intensive consultancy project; the aim was to develop an app to improve health, which was then pitched to a panel of judges. The pitch included the value proposition, the market, finance, sales strategy and the app concept. Mike really enjoyed the experience and was working within a great team. He said that he would highly recommend the PESS to any other postgraduate students.
