Much of the Club’s activity evolves around its in-person Investment Pitch events.
Members’ nominations of businesses they have already invested in are given priority to present at a forthcoming Club event. Unlike other Angel Groups, application is free. Preference is given to companies that have some connection to London Business School (alumni, trusted friends and contacts) alongside which we welcome applications from the UK’s entrepreneurial community at large.
All Investment Pitch events are held at 41 Portland Place, London W1B 1QH
All applications must be submitted online here in accordance with the application closing date relative to the next Investment Event as detailed below.

Schedule of Upcoming Meetings
High-growth businesses often reach a point where the systems and processes that served them well begin to constrain the next phase of growth. The symptoms are familiar to investors: increasing administrative headcount, fragmented management information, spreadsheet dependency and key people spending too much time running the business rather than growing it.
This session is exclusively for E100 members and is being hosted by our sponsors, Cedar Bay. The company will explore how investors can recognise these signs and how modern business platforms can remove operational drag, improve visibility and provide an infrastructure capable of supporting significantly greater scale.
They will consider how businesses can add capability progressively as they grow. From core finance and operations through to inventory, manufacturing, projects, contracts and subscription billing – without continually replacing their underlying systems.
The impact of AI on enterprise software will also form part of the discussion. Cedar Bay will consider how strong core platforms can combine with AI and targeted applications, and how AI could materially reduce the time, cost and complexity of implementation.
Another thread of discussion will focus on how investors can encourage management teams to address these foundations with less cost, disruption and risk than traditionally associated with ERP before they become a constraint on growth or a future transaction.
The session will be practical and discussion-led, drawing on Cedar Bay’s experience of implementing modern cloud ERP platforms into growing businesses.

A GTM workshop exclusive to the E100 community for anyone building or backing a B2B or B2B2C business.
Plenty of great companies don’t stall on product, they stall on go-to-market: positioning that doesn’t land, pipeline that dries up, big deals that go quiet, or the wrong commercial hire at the wrong time. This session addresses all of it.
The session will follow one large enterprise deal (big for a startup or scaleup) through the entire sales funnel, from GTM prep to close, with a specialist at each step:
• GTM positioning and prep: E100’s very own Robin Martin
• Top-of-funnel pipeline creation: Paul Rees, CEO, Spikr
• Mid-funnel buying groups: Ginny Holden, CRO, Curaley (ex-CRO, HP)
• Building the right team to convert: Andy Strong, CEO, Strong Search
Founders leave with:
• Their own GTM challenges worked through live with people who’ve scaled it many times over
• A clear view of how positioning, pipeline, deals and hiring fit together
• A steer on their next commercial hire: when, who and what it should cost
Investors will get:
• A forum to debate where portfolio companies could stall, before it hits the numbers
• A chance to bring along portcos wrestling with GTM, to spot and fix bottlenecks early or as they arise
• A trusted bench of specialists to point your portfolio towards if and when needed
