Not quite in one of those roles? Reach out to see if there’s a fit!
Whilst the topic is heavily focussed around getting more investment to female founders, you do not need to be female to attend – the conversation is stronger if the invite remains open to all.
If you’re a service provider, there’s one place available at each dinner – please choose the correct ticket.
The dinner conversation will be:
· What investors really look for beyond the pitch deck
· The biggest commercial mistakes early-stage founders make
· Developing from founder to CEO - and the mindset shifts required
· Lessons from raising and deploying £150m in venture capital
You’ll join a highly curated group of peers for open discussion, shared insights, and a chance to grow your network with others who get it.
