About The Fund
The Imperial College Enterprise Funds were first launched in 2020. The third Imperial College Enterprise Fund (ICEF III) offers investors an opportunity to invest in companies founded on some of the remarkable research at Imperial College London through an early stage, tax-efficient vehicle. The Fund brings together Imperial College Enterprise, a leading technology transfer and commercialisation organisation, and Parkwalk, a leading technology EIS fund manager, to offer an early stage, growth-targeted investment fund, with the potential to maximise tax-free capital gains.
*Please note: Investments must be held for 3 years to achieve all 5 tax reliefs. Tax reliefs are dependent upon an investor’s circumstances. We strongly suggest that you seek specialist tax advice. Tax benefits above are as at March 2024. Loss relief reduces the impact of a loss but does not eliminate it entirely.
Imperial College Enterprise Fund
The objective of the Imperial College Enterprise Fund III (ICEF III) is to invest in a portfolio of early stage, high-growth, research-intensive companies with strong connections to Imperial College London. These could be spin-outs based directly on academic research, deep science businesses developed by students, or companies emerging from Imperial’s innovation ecosystem. The Fund will provide funding and support to companies founded on Imperial’s research, helping transform these new scientific discoveries into tomorrow’s solutions.
The Fund utilises the tax reliefs of the government’s EIS and SEIS schemes where applicable.
