With its extraordinary entrepreneurial ecosystem, Imperial College London is brimming with experienced founders. 14 of them, with recent funding rounds totalling over £50m, got together at a Founders' Roundtable event organised by Imperial Enterprise Lab and landed on five key lessons for seeking startup investment: 1. Build relationships before you raise - the best time to engage investors is when you're not actively fundraising. 2. Due Diligence goes both ways - understanding an investor's track record and reputation can make or break a partnership. 3. Strategic round structuring and valuation - more than just securing a cheque, an investment round must set you up for long-term success. 4. Signals and momentum help fundraising - fear of missing out is a powerful motivator for investors, just like everyone else. 5. Be prepared for delays and market dynamics - fundraising always takes longer than expected and sometimes there are external factors beyond your control. Read the full article, including actionable tips, in the comments below - with thanks to Maxwell Munford for putting this together!

💊 🧠Developing dementia care in the UK with ZeDTech network: https://hubs.ly/Q03g4NQ90 Imperial College London is leading the ZeDTech network, a ground-breaking initiative to develop zero-burden, sustainable technologies that empower people with dementia to live independently for longer. With the help of £6 million funding announced from UK Research and Innovation, EPSRC and NIHR (National Institute for Health and Care Research) for dementia care networks, ZeDTech will bring together researchers, engineers, healthcare professionals, and industry leaders to create wearable and contactless sensors like radar-based remote sensing to monitor health with minimal disruption. Beyond technology, the researchers are committed to addressing care inequalities and digital exclusion, ensuring these innovations are accessible and affordable across the UK. As dementia cases are projected to rise to 1.4 million by 2040, investing in solutions that enhance independent living isn’t just necessary but urgent.

🦿 🦾 Researchers in Imperial College London Department of Bioengineering have developed an advanced wearable technology that promises better comfort and personalised fit for prosthetic limbs. A new material called #Roliner is made up of silicone elastomers that can be pressurised to change its properties. This sits at the interface between a prosthetic limb socket and the user's body, enabling adaptive changes to be made for comfort. Principal Investigator Dr Fırat Güder said: "If a prosthetic limb cannot connect closely and comfortably with the human body, it becomes unwearable. Until now, researchers have tried to solve this problem by improving limbs and sockets. We took a different approach by developing a dynamically adaptive interface for the liners used between the body and the rigid prosthetic socket." Read the story below: 👇 https://hubs.ly/Q03fYcHL0
