Hey everyone,

I’m running for Events Coordinator, with plans to lead IdeaForge (our startup incubator) when the committee reorganises. I’ve founded two startups, including a B2B SaaS with thousands of users, so I’ve been through the challenges of building a business. I’ve also built a solid network of VCs, founders, and investors, and I want to bring these connections to you.

My goal for IdeaForge is to scale its capacity and provide more hands-on, personalised support for founders. I want to offer free or discounted resources—think software subscriptions and tools—to help you grow. I’ll also work on creating more opportunities to connect with VCs and angel investors, helping you secure funding and expand your network. Plus, I’ll push for more collaborations and events with other startups and societies across the UK and Europe.

I’m running with the support of Maksim, who’s running for Chair and the current IdeaForge lead. Together, we have big plans to make IdeaForge the go-to place for startup support at Imperial.

I’m passionate about helping you turn your ideas into successful businesses and would love to help make that happen. Thanks for your support!

Best,
Sanuka
Candidate for Events Coordinator (Lead of IdeaForge after reorganisation)
