How Spire Works

A streamlined process from discovery to deal — no friction, no wasted introductions.

01

Scout

We identify exceptional student-founded startups across Imperial College, UCL, and LBS — evaluating team, traction, and market.

APPLICATIONS REVIEWED WITHIN 5 BUSINESS DAYS.
02

Pitch

Shortlisted founders are introduced directly to relevant angels in our network. We handle context, timing, and first impressions.

WARM INTRODUCTIONS, NOT COLD DECKS.
03

Close

We facilitate the conversation through to term sheet. Spire takes a success fee only when a deal closes — fully aligned incentives.

NO CLOSE, NO FEE.
