LSE’s campus and our global alumni community are brimming with entrepreneurial drive. Since 2010, around 800 new graduates per year have started their own businesses, many of which are socially and sustainably minded. Alumni entrepreneurs can be found in over 170 countries, and the LSESU Entrepreneurs Society is the most active student society on campus with over 500 members, many of whom are already founders.

Here are a few LSE alumni who have made or are making a difference through entrepreneurship and business leadership:

The alumni above are a only a handful of the many LSE alumni who have and continue to impact our world. The LSE Alumni Shaping the World special report formed part of the 2023 People and Change LSE Festival. A selection of our alumni were featured in the Festival's special exhibition: People and Change: LSE Alumni Shaping the World and many of those featured were chosen by faculty and staff across LSE.

Supporting the next generation of LSE leaders through scholarships

At LSE our mission depends on welcoming the most talented students, regardless of background. Today, that mission is under threat. Rising demand for scholarships, economic uncertainty, and global instability are putting access to an LSE education for many at risk – just when the world needs a diversity of ideas and perspectives the most.
