Mathys & Squire in partnership with

Imperial Enterprise Lab is a support centre and network encouraging innovation and entrepreneurship at Imperial College London. Through the availability of resources, programmes and events, the community helps alumni, staff and students on their startup and spinout ventures, encouraging them to achieve great success. Since their inception in 2016, the Enterprise Lab has supported 337 ventures who have gone on to raise over £560million in external funding.

The Enterprise Lab prides itself on providing a wealth of knowledge and support. Their initiatives include the co-working space, a physical community where people can get together and work on their current projects, and the idea surgery, a space for advice and feedback from experienced coaches. They also hold masterclasses, have a multitude of online resources, and execute informative programmes, such as the WE Innovate, Venture Catalyst Challenge and MedTech SuperConnector.

Mathys & Squire are proud to support the Imperial Enterprise Lab with intellectual property expertise, utilising our specialist knowledge to provide advice on patents, trade marks and designs to spinouts and startups that are part of the community.

This recently included an IP workshop and one-to-one expert advice sessions delivered by Anna Gregson and Jessie Harrison for the WE Innovate programme, which spans 5 months and aims to support women-led entrepreneurial teams through business coaching and mentoring.

Our Mathys & Squire team, including Andrew White, Anna Gregson and Jessie Harrison, are also on hand for ad-hoc, one-to-one support as part of the ongoing Experts-in-Residence service.
