Finance doesn’t work for the new ideas that need it most, so how can investment work for new founders?
Join us to hear what’s out there, what works and how the market is changing with people who get the ‘game’ of finding investment.
In this event, hear firsthand experience of founders and professionals who’ve sought, secured or passed up investment as they’ve created businesses they believe in.
If you’re a startup or someone who wants to see new ideas in the City get the money they need, this event is an opportunity to come together and learn what’s possible.
We’re pleased to bring you this new series of smaller collab events after a six-month break!
As always, we focus on the detail, not the hype. No PowerPoint, just direct conversations, your questions and discussion.
