London Business School – A playground for successful entrepreneurs
We are excited to release the fourth edition of the LBS Founders Book, a testament to the enduring legacy of innovation and entrepreneurship at London Business School. Within these pages, you’ll find the latest cohort of startups, selected from the ranks of our esteemed alumni, representing a diverse spread of industries and investment stages. Each venture captures the spirit of resilience, creativity, and visionary thinking that defines the LBS community.
The Founders Book team is honored to present this collection as a showcase of our community’s achievement, collective ambition, and drive. But this project is about more than just highlighting success stories. It’s about fostering a culture of support and empowerment for aspiring entrepreneurs as they navigate the path to success within and beyond LBS.

“He who knows only his own generation remains forever a child”
Inscription on History Building, University of Colorado
“London Business School has been championing entrepreneurship for over 40 years. Over that time, students have created thousands of new ventures; many resulting in brilliant businesses and all in great learning. To my knowledge (and I’ve been around a while), this is the first time anyone has created a compendium of these journeys. It’s a fantastic initiative, serving at once to celebrate our founders, tell their stories and show – if ever there were any doubt – that the School provides wonderfully fertile ground for entrepreneurial thinkers. Entrepreneurship is part discipline, part apprenticeship. Either way, we have so much to learn from those who went before us, and it is hugely rewarding to be part of a community that is so willing to support and share experiences with the next generation – and to support the Entrepreneurship Club in kicking off this first edition of the LBS Founders Book.”
