About Us

Young Investor Week is a national initiative started by Diverse Leaders Network and Ultra Education CIC to provide the next generation with entrepreneurial, leadership and financial skills for the future. In partnership with Innovate UK, Young Investor Week was born from the successful delivery of two pilot events in Canary Wharf, London and Liverpool called Bright Futures: Young Investor for the Day.
 

Created and designed by Diverse Leaders Network and Ultra Education, Bright Futures has since prepared a total of 40 young people to sit alongside experienced investors to assess the pitches of 20 entrepreneurs looking for funding.

Client Feedback

The Bright Futures team are incredibly passionate about empowering young people to become leaders of the future and this meant that the level of engagement from our students was incredibly high. I would highly recommend that any school that gets the opportunity to work with DLN should embrace it.
