About Event

There’s a thriving local scale-up ecosystem, in particular in Cyber and Defence. As founders achieve traction and progress well past the start-up phase, many are heading towards a material fundraise or, eventually, an exit. Few are ready for either.

This session brings together experts speakers from InfiniteCFO, Momentum Corporate Finance & Wiggin LLP and together they'll unpack what transaction readiness actually looks like, grounded in real deals rather than theory, and in particular what’s different about the crucial sectors of Cyber and Defence.

This session is for founders and finance leaders thinking about a fundraise or sale, and for anyone who wants to understand how drawing on the local ecosystem of specialists can help them navigate that complexity and secure the best deal possible for their business.
