Youth Startups

"The highlight for me was not just creating the prototype under tight deadlines, but the process of working together as a team to bring an idea to life. I learned how important it is to validate ideas with users early, how to adapt quickly when things don’t work as planned, and how to communicate a vision clearly in front of an audience.

I’m especially grateful to our hosts, Amardeep Parmar and Gurvir Riyat, for sharing the inspiring story behind Bae HQ. Their stories, advice, and openness added tremendous value and motivation to the week.

This opportunity has reinforced my passion for technology, problem-solving, and collaboration, and I am looking forward to building on these skills."

"I spent this week being part of an amazing team at Bae HQ for work experience, where I've gained lessons of a lifetime.

Thank you to Amardeep Parmar and Gurvir Riyat for hosting us and giving us this chance, will be expecting a signed copy of your book.

Thank you to our competitors for making this week full of giggles. And thank you to my team for making this week an adventure of a lifetime!"

"During the five-day programme, I learned so much from founders and investors, met new people, and developed my skills. Your energy, humour, and support made the week even more enjoyable and unforgettable.

This experience pushed me out of my comfort zone, and I’m so grateful for every moment."

"Two weeks ago, I completed my placement at Bae HQ, and it was an experience I’ll never forget. What I’m taking away from this placement is more than just the skills we learned.It’s the reminder that with the right people, support, and focus, you can achieve so much in such a short space of time. One week really can feel like months of progress. Once again thank you, Gurvir Riyat and Amardeep Parmar for making this possible and also for this placement week."

"Last week, I had the incredible opportunity to take part in the Bae HQ work experience programme, and it has truly been a transformative 5 days- packed with innovation, teamwork, and stepping out of my comfort zone."
