Risks and rewards of investing in startups

Investing in any new business, and especially technology or science-focused businesses, is a high-risk activity. We strongly advise potential investors to take advice from a specialist in startup investment authorised under the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 before making an investment into any project.

Imperial does not provide investment advice and presents business plans and proposals for information only, without making any recommendations to potential investors. Startup success is difficult to predict, and the success of past startups does not indicate or predict the success of others.
