Redefining
investment and innovation
Where is opportunity emerging beyond the familiar investment pipeline?
Join VCs, angels and capital partners for a conversation on innovation, growth and capital fit, drawing on Black and Afro-Lusophone business perspectives.
Explore different business models, routes to market and the conditions that make an opportunity a fit for the business and the capital provider.
The conversation
Innovation and opportunity: Where is commercial value emerging across sectors and markets?
Market understanding and risk: What evidence helps assess an unfamiliar customer, business model or route to growth?
Capital fit: When do the needs of the business align with the objectives and constraints of the capital provider?
Beyond the cheque: What role do operating expertise, relationships and market access play in making growth possible?
Coordination: Where can investors, accelerators, corporate partners and city institutions connect their resources more effectively?
What to expect
A peer conversation on innovation, investment opportunity and capital fit.
Audience perspectives on markets, growth and practical coordination.
Discussion of finance, access and expertise beyond the cheque
This is a space for informed exchange, practical examples and audience perspectives not a pitch competition or a funding offer.
Who this is for
Primarily VCs, angel investors and other capital providers, alongside lenders, corporate buyers, accelerators, city institutions and ecosystem partners. Founders are welcome to contribute their experience.
Bring your investment perspective, sector experience and questions.
