London Business School: Investors & Founders Conference: Impact Investing
London Business School: Investors & Founders Network conference: Impact Investing
Non-Profit All the ticket fees go to food, drink and LBS foundation
Join us for an exciting evening of innovative ideas at the London Business School - Sammy Ofer Centre.
Bridging Research, Capital & Impact: From Evidence to Allocation
An invitation-only evening for investors, researchers, founders, and system builders exploring how ideas become deployable capital.
Across sectors, a persistent gap remains:
why does strong research and innovation rarely translate into real capital allocation?
We bring together institutional investors, family offices, academics, and a select group of founders to explore how we move from
knowledge → translation → deployment—and what makes opportunities truly institution-ready.

What attendees have said about previous evenings...
"Thank you for organising a wonderful event! I'm very interested in learning more about E100 and the process of becoming an angel investor." - Sasha
"Really enjoyed your LBS EMBA Den event last night and follow-up at Home Grown. A fascinating blend of people. Looking forward to the next one. (I have checked and will be back by then)" - Martin (OG Angel investor)
"Thanks for organising the EMBA event last night. Two interesting pitches (and awesomely diverse), networking drinks afterwards was also a joy. I had not intended to stay for long, but kept getting into fascinating conversations with interesting people. If that's not a great endorsement, then I don't know what is." - Nick
