Forging Links Ecosystem: "So, You think you're ready for investment"

​Securing funding is one of the biggest challenges facing spinouts.  Investment could be a route to gaining these funds which requires founders to be investment ready. But what does it really mean to be truly investment ready?

​This Forging Links event will be a practical and candid exploration of what investors require from spinouts looking to gain investment. Through honest insights and real-world experiences, we'll unpack what separates investment-ready spinouts from those that struggle to secure their next round of funding. Hear from those with first-hand experience of making deals and gaining investment.

​

​More than another investment event

​This isn't a theoretical workshop or a series of presentations. Forging Links is designed to create meaningful connections between innovators, founders, investors and the innovation ecosystem; helping spinouts build relationships that could support them as they start and scale.

​

​We invite the wider ecosystem to join us from 17:30 to connect with spinouts, entrepreneurial academics and university commercialisation teams.
