About London Social Ventures

We are a collaboration of leading London universities seeking to transform how entrepreneurship achieves social impact. London Social Ventures aims to launch several pilot programs focused on building a strong pipeline of university-based social ventures, while gaining deeper insights into the support they need to grow and achieve long-term sustainability. This new initiative, born from an innovative collaboration between London universities and partners, seeks to generate a critical mass of social venture activity. Doing so will lay the groundwork for a permanent solution supporting and nurturing emerging university social ventures across the capital. London Social Ventures will focus on building a robust pipeline of social ventures emerging from London universities, supported by a city-wide network offering legal assistance, business model development, mentoring, and more. Through this, we aim to gain a comprehensive understanding of the support ecosystem required for social ventures and to map the scale and scope of the pipeline developing from universities. This will allow us to demonstrate a proof of concept for our approach, while shaping a vision around the development of a longer-term solution such as the development of a fund as well as permanent infrastructure to support this work. As part of our journey we will also be sharing insights and learnings to a variety of stakeholders both across the UK and globally.
