I joined Bloomsbury Ventures as an executive, with the goal to make the complex, opaque world of venture capital accessible to your typical UCL student. 

As acting Director of Bloomsbury Ventures, we've successfully hosted the UCLe's (and by extension UCL) first live venture capital simulator with 30+ passionate students across 6 teams, enabling 3 startup teams and 3 venture capital funds to learn about the art of dealmaking, negotiation and the pitch in the short span of 2 hours

But we're not done yet. Whether it's letting students learn how VCs evaluate opportunity in our "Think like a VC" session in November, or our Christmas panel on breaking into VC in December, we've got a big plans from now all the way to Easter. I'd be grateful for your vote to enable me to bring those plans to life. 

Thanks so much!

Hey I'm Lincoln, a penultimate year PPE with Data Science student.

Over the past two years, I have served as Vice President for four different societies at UCL, and have developed strong team leadership skills through coordinating large conferences, speaker events and collaborative initiatives.

Beyond student life, I have also gained hands-on entrepreneurial experience, obtaining first runner up in High School for a Business Pitching Competition, and Semi-Finalist for a Social Venture Challenge by Harvard WorldMUN x Resolution Project.



These all taught me invaluable lessons around fundraising and stakeholder management that I believe would serve me well in supporting Bloomsbury ventures.

If selected, some priorities I would focus on include:

  • Expanding our mentorship network within the professional startup community to provide richer guidance and connections

  • Developing new accelerator programs, workshops and funding opportunities to nurture ambitious ideas from conception to market

  • Curating networking events and showcase platforms to help ventures attract talent and potential investors/partners

  • Monitoring global innovation trends to inform strategic focus areas and guide ventures towards opportunities for real impact

For that, I would truly appreciate your vote of confidence. ;)
