Investor Ready: Building Relationships That Fund Your Growth
A free virtual prep session for Atlantic Canadian founders preparing to engage with investors
Two of Atlantic Canada's biggest investor-facing events are happening in May and June, but whether you are attending those events or preparing for investor conversations of your own, this session is for you.
What this session covers
This is not a pitch coaching workshop. It is a practical session about how to engage with investors as people, build trust, and develop relationships you can leverage across multiple rounds of fundraising.
What you will walk away with
A framework for approaching investor conversations as relationship-building, not transactions
Practical guidance on what investors look for at each stage and how to tailor your engagement
How to follow up after a conference in a way that keeps the relationship alive
Insight from fund managers on what makes a founder memorable, and what makes them want to take a second meeting
This session is for you if:
You are a founder at any stage preparing to attend the Atlantic Venture Forum, the East Coast Founder & Investor Social, or any investor-facing event in the coming months. Whether you are raising now or building relationships ahead of a future raise, the content is immediately actionable.
Presented by Startup Atlantic in collaboration with Invest Nova Scotia and NBIF.
