Help your students graduate with more than a degree.

The skills employers actually want - creativity, adaptability, commercial thinking, the confidence to back yourself - don’t always make it into the timetable. We put them there.

Whether it’s a one-off session or a full programme, we work with universities to embed practical entrepreneurship skills that improve employability, nurture new ventures, and give students a genuine edge.

How we work with universities

Coaches, EiRs & Expert Pool

Embed our experts into your programme as Entrepreneurs and Investors in Residence - supporting your cohort throughout, or brought in for specific topic deep dives. Specialists in funding, go-to-market, branding, business model innovation, startup legals, presenting, leadership, exit planning and more.

Workshops & Programmes

One-off sessions or a full series. We teach the practical skills of entrepreneurship: generating and testing ideas, sizing markets, building business models, designing first products, fundraising, and many more All hands-on, all immediately applicable.

Growth Groups

Small groups of up to 8 students, meeting regularly with expert facilitation to work through real challenges together. One of our most distinctive offers and keeps momentum going long after the formal programme ends.

Holiday Innovation Camps

From Summer Schools to half term intensives or Easter breaks - we design inspiring programmes that people actually want to be on. Tailored length and content, but students always leave with new practical skills and real confidence in their ability to innovate.

Want something bespoke?

Design for every kind of mind.

Human skills in an AI world.

Every session is built with neuroinclusion at the heart. Entrepreneurship rewards the skills neurodiverse brains are wired for, and we design for that from the start.

We help students understand what AI means for the careers they are about to enter - and build the distinctly human skills that matter most as a result. The graduate attributes employers actually need.

Some of our most popular topics

Each area covers multiple workshops - this is a flavour, not an exhaustive list.

  • Growth mindset, spotting opportunities, backing yourself

  • Identifying real problems worth solving, first business model design

  • Lean Startup basics, customer validation, building an MVP

  • Customer interviews, Go-To-Market strategy, marketing on a budget

  • How funding works, what investors look for, how to pitch

  • Why it matters and how to do it authentically

  • "The sessions were full of energy, new ideas and challenges for the founders. Some founders think they know how to pitch, but the GuessWork sessions take it to another level and give value to even the most confident pitchers. The sessions were so useful and well run, I have integrated them as part of a new accelerator as preparation for an investor Demo Day. "

    Greg Jones, Stakeholder Manager, University of Oxford

  • "Working with GuessWorks has been such a fantastic experience. The team, led by Hattie, brings clarity, creativity and real momentum to every project; they ask the right questions, push thinking further, and deliver with a ton of professionalism and real heart. They feel less like an agency and more like an extension of our team – definitely part of the family!"

    LJ Silverman, Head of LSE Generate

  • "Your content was perfect - and your ability to adapt to their needs on the spot is a real skill. It makes the difference between a genuinely bespoke session and just generic information."

    Helen Lax, Director at Fashion District

  • "Hattie's workshops consistently help entrepreneurs transform their ideas into clear, compelling narratives that resonate with audiences and judges alike. Hattie has a fantastic ability to build confidence in founders while challenging them to sharpen their message and communicate the real value of their ventures. The impact of her work is clear in the quality of the pitches we see at our showcase events, with participants feeling far more prepared, confident, and able to tell their story effectively."

    Victoria Porritt, Enterprise Manager, Enspire Oxford

  • "The workshops were engaging, resources visually appealing and the program received excellent feedback from our students, culminating in a Pitching Day where we saw confidence raised and some polished outcomes."

    Yvonne Halloran, Careers Consultant, Ravensbourne University

  • “Hattie delivered three highly engaging workshops for our Postdoc Venture Creation Challenge taking them through customer discovery and product/ market fit. We knew we were in safe hands straight away with someone who really knew what they were talking about and could communicate it so clearly. The sessions got excellent feedback from our postdocs and were the right balance of informative and interactive.”
