Climate Entrepreneurs: Alumni Officer

Manifesto - Alumni Officer, Climate Entrepreneurs Society, Andre Pancholi

Hi everyone! I’m Andre Pancholi, and I am studying the 1-year MSc in Environmental Technology at the Centre for Environmental Policy. As a keen entrepreneur myself (currently building an AI-powered learning tool), and having worked in sustainable investment, climate VC, and grassroots environmental activism, I’ve seen how vital strong alumni networks are for early-stage founders.

As Alumni Officer, I want to turn our alumni network into a dynamic ecosystem - connecting current members with past founders, investors and mentors who’ve taken ideas to real-world lasting impact.

My goals:

Build a digital alumni directory and mentorship system linking members to past Climate Entrepreneurs start-ups.
Host alumni roundtables and fireside chats to share insights from past ventures.
Celebrate and publicise alumni success stories to inspire and equip the next generation of climate innovators.
