I'm currently a masters student at UCL and I'm too surprised at the small scale of start-up culture here. I've been talking to many london universities to bring hackers and start-up enthusiasts together to collaborate and see what everyone is working on. Numbers are small, but there is talent out there working on cool ideas.

In my opinon in this case it's a matter of exposure, here at UCL I didn't see any advertisements about siliconmilkroundabout; and I bet more non-technical founders knew about it than computer scientists. Universities are a hard one to crack, you really have to target down hard to the societies(techsoc) and the right areas (malet place).

what could we do in the next 3 days to really crank up awareness at UCL? We have posters, fliers and can send someone from Songkick or another start-up down to speak about the event and the start-ups that will be represented. Thanks!

Yeah highly recommend on sending some cool figures down or arrange a presentation, although if you have 3 days maybe too late.

If you email me at [e-mail] (temporary email address) i can put you in contact with head of techsoc.

I'm sure some guys at the UCL Hatchery would be willing to help spread the word too. Email me at [e-mail] and I'll put you guys in touch.
