SOAS Alumni Entrepreneurs
You may perhaps think that SOAS and Entrepreneurship do not go together, given the latter’s association with business and profit, but you would be wrong. Our students are extremely enterprising and go on after graduation to do amazing things. Being entrepreneurial is about organizing things and taking risks - and is an effective way of bringing about change, something dear to the heart of the SOAS community.
