Connect is proud to support members of Imperial Entrepreneurs to help them establish, fund and develop their high growth business ideas. Connect started in San Diego and has expanded around the world, allowing the potential to ‘bridge’ opportunities for funding and access to markets.

Lord Sainsbury identified Connect as the best model in the world for assisting high growth potential business. This model is based on a mixture of volunteer mentoring, business knowledge angel investing and the ‘springboard’ programme, which culminates in presentations to a team made up of investors, sector specific advisors and business advisors.

Members of Imperial Entrepreneurs can apply on line to become members of the Connect London Business Club (CLBC) and receive the full range of services of Connect at www.connectlondon.org.
