We are delighted to announce that three UCL School of Management alumni have been named in Forbes’ annual 30 under 30 list in multiple categories. In total, nineteen members of the UCL community have featured in this year’s list.
First launched in 2011, the Forbes 30 Under 30 list is designed to showcase the young people that are changing the world, with listees determined by number of factors, including social impact, potential, and inventiveness.
BSc Information Management for Business alumna Sara Berkai has been named in the Social Impact category in recognition of her for-profit impact startup Ambessa Play. A social enterprise creating toy kits and workshops for children aged 3-15, Ambessa Play has created a business model in which every kit or workshop purchased leads to a disadvantaged child with low STEM capital receiving one for free.
Additionally, BSc Management Science alumna Clara Ricard has featured in Forbes’ 30 Under 30 list in the Finance category. A founding member of Transition, a European VC firm focusing on climate tech startups, Clara specialises in Seed and Series A investments.
Finally, MSc Entrepreneurship alumnus Harry Bremner has been named in the Retail & Ecommerce category in recognition of his startup Tuggs. A pet food provider offering insect-based food that’s tailored specifically for each dog’s needs and tastes, Tuggs expects to hit $1.5 million in revenue in 2024 and has raised over $1.7 million in funding.
Discussing his incredible achievement, Harry told us, ‘I was delighted to have been included in this year’s Forbes 30 under 30 list and to have gained recognition for the work that my team and I have put in to build Tuggs as we strive to disrupt the fresh dog food market’.
