About us 

Entrepreneurship and finance have been at the heart of London Business School for the last 20 years. In 2021, we launched the Institute of Entrepreneurship and Private Capital (IEPC), born from a timely merger of the Institute of Innovation and Entrepreneurship and the Centre for Private Equity.

Both the Institute and Centre were already hugely significant, within London Business School and as parts of the wider business ecosystem. Together, we will aim to become an unparalleled centre for education, policy shaping and events covering all aspects of entrepreneurship, from idea generation to financing, and private markets investing. The IEPC will help create and finance the companies of the future and shape the people who will lead them.

Our mission

To serve as a cross-disciplinary hub of excellence in entrepreneurship and private capital investing. We aim to empower individuals and organizations by fostering an entrepreneurial mindset and deepening the understanding of entrepreneurial ventures, family enterprises and private capital funds. Through thought leadership, innovative research, outreach and collaborations, we aspire to have a positive impact on the LBS community and the wider ecosystem.

In recent years, governments and organisations have realised the importance of entrepreneurship to drive growth, create wealth, improve well-being and tackle many of the world’s chronic problems.

Vast amounts of private funding, as well as corporate and public resource, are invested each year to generate and scale new ideas. We want to ensure that this investment creates real impact by providing evidence-based outcomes, outputs, insights and strategies to people working in this space.
