Oasis Spotlight: Money Without Equity - Debt & Grants Breakfast

​Funding your startup doesn’t always mean giving away equity. Join us for a hands on session on the different non-equity financing options available to early-stage founders.

​Speakers:

​Joseph Babalola Head of Cashflow Lending, Funding Bay.
An expert in SME and startup lending, Joseph brings a wealth of knowledge from across the UK finance sector. He’ll share his insights into cashflow lending, what lenders look for, and how founders can prepare to access debt funding without the typical fluff.

​David Woods – British Business Bank. David works across London with banks, councils, accelerators, and VC networks to improve access to finance for founders. He brings a rare bird’s-eye view of what’s working (and what isn’t) in the London finance ecosystem.

​Dana Elman Vishkin - 1GLOBAL. has been a vocal advocate for SMEs in the UK and abroad since 2013. She has over 12 years of experience in product and programme management, and innovation policy. Prior to her current role as a Product Manager at 1GLOBAL, she worked at Digital Catapult, a deep-tech innovation organisation.
