"E-Lab events are a brilliant way to showcase our products and get feedback from customers, business experts and investors. It's inspiring to network with other student founders too!"

Thomas Gossner, Co-founder Icenine

"The E-Lab taught us how take an idea, prove its value, talk to customers, and get a lot of important insights from the market. The evidence is the fact we’re still running years later!"

Alex Bond Co-founder, Freshcheck

More about us

The Imperial Entrepreneurs’ Pledge

Support the next generation of innovators and entrepreneurs

Imperial Enterprise Lab supports all founders free of charge, often at the earliest stages of development – before anyone else will back them and without any expectation of recompense.

The Imperial Entrepreneurs’ Pledge is an opportunity for student and alumni founders to ‘pay it forward’ and support the next generation of innovators and entrepreneurs with a philanthropic gift to the College.

From backing a specific initiative such as Enterprise Lab, the Advanced Hackspace, or Undaunted – to supporting an entrepreneurial student who wouldn’t otherwise be able to attend university with a scholarship, your gift could be the first step towards another Imperial innovator finding a solution to the world’s most pressing problems.
