Brunel recent graduate entrepreneur, Jonathan Fisher competed at the Red Bull Basement Nationals on 12 November 2024, pitching his business idea Peter. Developed throughout his final year of studies here at Brunel, Peter is an innovative medical device designed to help people with Parkinson’s Disease regain their mobility, and was initially designed for his father, Peter. Since graduating from BSc Industrial and Product Design back in 2023, Jonathan has been working on his concept whilst furthering his education at Cambridge University.
Red Bull Basement empowers innovative thinkers worldwide to develop and launch ideas, accelerated by AI technology. There are two stages to the competition: the first stage is a national competition where selected students from all over the UK will pitch for the national title. The UK winner will then go on to the second stage, the World Final, which will be held in Tokyo this December, where they will network with industry leaders and receive mentorship. The Red Bull Basement World Final Winner will win an all-expenses-paid trip to Silicon Valley and Los Angeles in 2025, including personalized mentorship from Plug and Play VC and opportunities to connect with top industry leaders.
Jonathan shares “I’m incredibly grateful to Red Bull, the judges, and the amazing contestants who were so kind and had some fantastic ideas and businesses. Next up - Peter is going to Tokyo to represent the UK at the World Final! It’s so exciting that Peter is gaining some global representation for people with Parkinson’s, and Tokyo will help us get one step closer to making a real impact!”
Brunel Entrepreneur Hub wishes you good luck for the upcoming World Finals Jonathan!
