If you’d like support with fundraising, investor readiness, or navigating investor engagement through Imperial, we’re here to help.
The Investment Services team works closely with founders across the Imperial ecosystem to prepare for fundraising, refine your approach, and connect you with the right opportunities at the right time. Whether you’re just starting to think about raising or already preparing to engage investors, we’re happy to support you.
🚀 Ready to start fundraising?
If you're considering raising investment, we recommend starting with the Imperial Investor Network section.
This will guide you through how to prepare, how we assess readiness, and how to access the Imperial investor network. Working through these steps will help ensure you’ve covered the key foundations before we support you with investor engagement and introductions.
You can reach out to us for support with:
💰 Fundraising strategy and timing — when to raise, how much to raise, and how to structure your approach
🧠 Investment readiness and positioning — understanding how investors will evaluate your startup
🎤 Pitch and narrative feedback — refining how you communicate your story and value proposition
📊 Review of your pitch deck and materials — including decks, financials, and supporting documents
🎯 Identifying and targeting the right investors — based on your stage, sector, and goals
🤝 Understanding how to engage with the Imperial investor network — including pathways to introductions and events

The best way to get support is through our office hours, where we provide focused, tailored guidance.
These sessions are designed to give you practical, actionable feedback and help you move forward with clarity. You can use them to:
Get detailed feedback on your pitch deck or materials
Sense-check your fundraising strategy and approach
Discuss investor targeting and outreach
Plan your next steps and priorities
