Participating in the FIP programme was an incredible experience. I had a chance to work with two passionate LBS students who guided me through developing our pitch deck and financial projections. The programme helped me build valuable connections, and several VCs approached us afterward, which could accelerate our growth journey

First Impact Partners have been pivotal in helping Ureaka take shape as a business. The program was structured in a way that kept us on track, with clear deliverables and regular weekly meetings that allowed us to deep dive into market analysis, supply chain strategies, revenue modelling, and competition mapping. Sherry’s introductions to potential commercial leads, VC’s such as Zinc (where I’ve now been accepted on to their venture builder program), and her recommendations at the Conception X pitch day have all been transformative. These connections, combined with her strategic insights, have driven an unprecedented level of investor interest. In fact, the University’s tech transfer office recently remarked that they have never seen this level of momentum at such an early stage for a spinout. First Impact Partners have been instrumental in helping Ureaka get to this point, and I can’t recommend their programme highly enough
