Meet our alumni

Founders take to the stage at Undaunted's first Alumni Summit in 2024.

Scaling up climate innovation

The route to commercialisation is often long and complex. As our community of alumni startups grows we are increasing our scale-up support service to help companies flourish during the next, crucial stages of their development.

We work closely with colleagues across Imperial’s White City campus. This includes work with the Institute for Deep Tech Entrepreneurship to translate their groundbreaking research in this area into practical support for climate startups. Some of our alumni are in fact based within the thriving White City Innovation District as they scale up.

We engage thoughtfully with our startups and wider community to understand the barriers they face and amplify these in wider political and industrial arenas. We are founding members of Cleantech for UK, a initiative that seeks to supercharge UK innovation, and we also work with the Startup Coalition.
