 Build long-term relationships and be outward-looking to learn from
precedents
 E.g. get more crucial catalysts in (professors, investors, alumni, banks etc.)
 Keep ourselves informed to recognize state-of-the-art support methods &
raise public exposure
 E.g. build database of startup organisations and their practices
 Increase communication towards the Imperial community

entrepreneurs)
