​Fundraising doesn't end when the money hits the bank. Every round sets you up for the next one, and the rules change at each stage.

​This evening, CODE University and Angel Invest walk you through the full journey: how to land your first angel or pre-seed check, how to structure the round, what to build afterward, and how to get from there to Seed, Series A, and beyond.

​No fluff and no parallel tracks. One focused program with the people who write the checks and the founders who have been through it.

​17:30 Doors open

​18:00 How to Raise, Stage by Stage: a hands-on workshop
The investment partners from Angel Invest show how investors think at each stage, from Angel to Series A. You'll get a framework and template to take home and use for your own raise.

​Pitch Deck Anatomy: Europe vs. US
Stephan Schambach, unicorn founder and CODE Trustee, breaks down what makes a deck work, and how expectations differ between European and US investors.

​Break with snacks & drinks

​Founder Panel: Raising in the Real World
Two founders talk openly about their rounds: what worked, what didn't, and what they would do differently next time.

​21:00 Drinks & networking
