Future Founders Lab: Kingston University x Culture Curated

Future Founders Lab is a Build-in-a-Day AI hackathon, hosted by Culture Curated in partnership with Kingston University London.

Over one afternoon, teams build a real AI-powered business idea across sponsor-branded challenge tracks, from first concept to a live pitch in front of a judging panel. You will get hands-on mentoring from people already building and running businesses, free credits on a leading AI platform to build with, and the chance to win prizes on the day.

This isn't a one-off. Every attendee joins the wider Culture Curated founder community, with access to future workshops, events and opportunities designed to help you keep building after the day ends.

Open to Kingston students first, and to any young founder, entrepreneur or tech builder who wants to spend a day building something real. All applicants are reviewed before being confirmed.

What to expect:

A live challenge brief across multiple tracks (fintech, sustainability, creative economy, health & wellbeing)

Mentoring from founders and people working in tech and AI

Free AI platforms and credits to build with

A judging panel and prizes for the winning team(s)
