Institute of Entrepreneurship and Private Capital
Inspiring entrepreneurs and private capital investors to pursue innovation and impact society by equipping them with the tools, expertise and insights to drive growth.
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.

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.
