UoB entrepreneurs share their start-up stories during Birmingham Tech Week

Birmingham Tech Week was a collaborative event across the West Midlands which included 150 speakers over 80 separate online events. The series of talks included themes including technology in industry, start-up advice and regional opportunities during the global pandemic.


The B-Enterprising team joined forces with UoB Start-Up society and UOB Business Engagement to organise a start-up event called 'Student-Built Tech Startups: Starting from scratch' and included three UoB entrepreneurs who were at different stages of their own personal start-up journey.

This online event took place on Wednesday 14 October and the following entrepreneurs were introduced by James Sharp from UoB Business Engagament:

Harriet Noy (BSc Economics) has set up a business called Hazaar which aims to give university students across the UK their own zero waste marketplace. The app is currently in development and she has built up a team of waste Hazaar leaders and champions across different UK universities with an aim to go live in December 2020. She had previously worked with a society on campus called 'Plastic Free UoB' with a purpose of eliminating single use plastics at the University of Birmingham campus.


John Sewell (History of Art graduate) started his business Eazyl Art in 2018 to help simplify the process of buying and selling art - giving sellers the ability to sell their art without high gallery costs and making art more accessible for buyers. See John Sewell's blog here

"Being naive can actually be a benefit for an entrepreneur as it forces you to find things out quickly and learn as you go along" Visit Eazyl website here



Niyo Enterprise is a multi-faceted business created by friends Oyinkansola Adebayo (MSc Development Economics) and Olaoluwa Dada (Economics, University of Nottingham). The business aims to empower women through health, beauty, tech, coding and empowerment workshops. A coding project called Black Codher drew interest from over 1,000 women and helped to upskill women to find coding roles and opportunities within Google, Apple and Capgemini.
