We did not organise this event and we do not sell its tickets. We found it, checked it was about AI, and listed it. Booking takes you to the organiser.

Join us for a fireside conversation with Rogo co-founder John Willett at Imperial College London on Thursday 12 November, 6:00pm.

John co-founded Rogo in 2022 with Gabriel Stengel and Tumas Rackaitis. Originating from John and Gabriel's final-year thesis at Princeton, Rogo has now grown into the preeminent AI platform built specifically for investment banking and private markets, automating research, deal screening and data room diligence.

Rogo is used by over 450+ global financial institutions, including Rothschild & Co, Jefferies and Lazard. More than 60,000 finance professionals are on the platform.

WHAT IT IS

About this one.

Written by Jack Murray, not by us — this is their description, tidied up and nothing more.

In April 2026, Rogo raised a $160M Series D led by Kleiner Perkins, with Sequoia, Thrive Capital, Khosla Ventures and J.P. Morgan participating, valuing the business at $2B.

Before Rogo, John worked as an investment banker at Barclays and J.P. Morgan. He was recently named to the 2026 Forbes 30 Under 30 finance list and now leads Rogo’s first international office, based in London.

This is a unique opportunity to hear first-hand how Rogo went from a Princeton thesis project to a leading AI application layer company in four years; how it wins the trust of the world’s most demanding financial institutions, and where AI is taking finance.

Please arrive by 5:45pm as we will be promptly starting at 6pm.

This event is a collaboration between the High Conviction Podcast, LSE Entrepreneurs Society, Imperial Entrepreneurs Society, UCL AI Society and Stanford ASES London.
