Frustrated with the lack of business opportunities and work experience for Britain’s jobless youths, bright young things Liam Tootill (director of SBTV) and and Bejay Mulenga (the guy who made £15,000 from selling sweets when he was just 14) for came together to form Supa Academy, the collective that aims to give some of the freshest minds around the chance to get involved and get started. Kicking off on 24-26 July at The Old Truman Brewery, the boys will be launching the Supa Academy Hack, a three-day event which will see 500 participants mentored by the biggest dogs in the industry, after which they will be invited to create their very own pop-up supermarket and e-commerce site.
