Liam Jeffery
Business & Economics at University of Sussex
I’m Liam Jeffery, the founder of Vaultt & StudentVenture. My mission is to bring as much opportunity as possible to early talent by bridging the gap between industry and young people. Too many students aren’t getting opportunities, and too often they’re judged on past experience rather than their true potential. We built StudentVenture to change that - by making opportunity more accessible, eliminating bias, reducing hiring friction, and enabling employers to discover talent for who they are, not just what’s on a CV.
