Build the future with precision.
Imperia works with a select group of founders, funders, and conveners around the globe — those on the bleeding edge. We engage in strategic partnership through bespoke diagnostics, advisory, and global dialogue.
Over the past decade, Imperia has worked across 21 countries delivering diagnostics, founder interventions, and strategic insight for global conveners including UN Women and Harvard. We’ve built founder programming with innovation hubs from Scotland to South Asia, and advised ecosystem leaders from Latin America to the Middle East.
This lived experience shapes everything we do. See our current offerings below, along with case studies.
Our offerings for 2025:
FOR FOUNDERS & BIG THINKERS
NEW: Your Intelligence Blueprint
Our new diagnostic is not a program: It’s a precision tool for your entire body of work. It surfaces the internal architecture behind your leadership, content, decisions — then co-develops a playbook and roadmap aligned to your long-term goals.
If you are a thought leader crafting your long-term and/or legacy projects, we have everything you need.
FOR CONFERENCES & GLOBAL EVENTS
Request Jennifer to Speak
IMPERIA founder Jennifer Iannolo is a global keynote speaker and former featured expert in women’s entrepreneurship for the U.S. Department of State. She has also given talks at the United Nations, Harvard University, and for corporations including Mastercard (Greece), EY (Finland), and the Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (UAE).
With her signature NYC moxie and humor — and 35 years in the founder trenches — Jennifer shares experiences from her own journey as a digital pioneer, and those from the women she has worked with around the globe. Her unique perspectives on the journey of women founders, and the systemic architecture in their way, will leave your audience transformed.

CASE STUDIES
OPPORTUNITY NORTH EAST: UNITED KINGDOM
In-person cohort across 5 accelerators
In summer 2022, we created an in-person summer cohort with 15 women founders across 4 of Opportunity North East’s accelerators in Aberdeen, UK: Digital Tech, Energy, Agriculture, and Life Sciences. The cohort was run via a series of intensive full-day workshops over 3 months.
HIGHLIGHTS
- Women founders from disparate sectors were able to build a community of support and peer feedback
- Communications with investors, team members, and co-founders were re-framed to be effective
- Founders learned to prioritize their self-care and set critical boundaries to ensure the wellbeing of themselves and their companies
- 50% have continued with us in an ongoing coaching program throughout 2023
IMPERIA COHORT 1: GLOBAL
Virtual cohort across 16 countries
Our first global cohort was announced at the United Nations in 2019, and comprised 28 women from 16 countries on 5 continents. Applicants were asked if they had an idea that could impact at least 100 people, and the entire cohort was conducted virtually over the course of a year. The U.S. Department of State then asked our participants from the South Asia region to provide insights on entrepreneurial development that could help to frame U.S. policy.
HIGHLIGHTS
- Participants reported a significant increase in confidence, accountability, and self-care
- 2 participants achieved exits or acquisitions
- 25% of participants have achieved significant recognition for their work, including an Obama Fellowship and PhD candidacy at the University of Cambridge
