    Hi everyone

    The talk is on Raising and managing finance and we have Oliver Woolley(BBAA and Envestors) and Sachin Duggal (Nivio),both very successful Imperial Alumni, coming along so it’s bound to be exciting .

    You will also get a chance of meeting some your mentors for the competition with networking and drinks to follow.

    Oliver is a Founder Partner of Envestors LLP in 2004 and an Executive Director of the British Business Angels Association (BBAA).

    Envestors LLP matches entrepreneurs with investors. The firm runs a network of 420 private investors looking to invest between £20,000 and £2m in early-stage ventures. It holds events every two months where companies seeking finance present to private investors, banks and investment funds.

    In August 2004, Sachin co-founded SMX iNet Global Services SA (now Nivio), a new addition to the SMX family with a view to explore Internet technologies. He got seed funding from two of his bosses! Originally named myremoteworkstation, he believed that the world of computing would change, become simple & hassle free. He dreamed of a desktop that was anywhere and nowhere; that was stress-free and fault-proof. Hence Nivio!
    Fast forward to 4 years later, Nivio SA was selected as a technology pioneer at the World Economic Forum in January, 2009. Sachin made history in being the youngest attendees at the WEF in Davos. Furthering his accomplishments, he is of the youngest in WEF Davos history to win the Technology Pioneers of 2009 award. He now joins the elite likes of Google and Infosys.
    Sachin’s other accolades include the PriceWaterhouseCoopers Leader of Tomorrow, the BBC Young Asian achiever of the Year and UNEP Global 500 Youth Award.
