May 8th, 2025
2pm - 5pm GMT

Gather feedback, build relationships and accelerate your fundraising journey.

Impact <> Investor Office Hours are back! We're connecting 100 founders with investors for 2 x 30 min sessions. This is your chance to your pitch your venture, get crucial feedback and expand your network.

Impact investing accounts for just 2.5% of total assets under management in Europe.

We've worked with 1,000+ purpose-led businesses and backed 60 game-changing companies across four cohort programs. We’ve seen firsthand what impact founders can achieve.

Yet, many still believe purpose and profit don’t mix. The data proves otherwise.

After the success of Impact <> Investor Hours #1, we’re back with edition #2 - this time bigger and better - on a mission to shatter outdated perceptions and fast-track the UK’s most impactful founders towards investment.

No cold emails, no warm intros.

Our first edition of Impact <> Investor Office Hours gave 103 impact founders direct access to 52 European VC funds.
