• ​The £1M+ ARR Benchmark:

  • ​A look at the revenue and growth targets you need to hit before approaching institutional investors or public markets.

• ​The Public Option (AIM & Aquis):

  • ​Why early-stage fintechs are looking at AIM and Aquis as a stepping stone to public capital, and what the entry requirements actually are.

• ​The Capital Stack:

  • ​How to balance private equity, debt, and public listing options to fuel growth without losing control.

• ​Surviving Institutional Diligence:

  • ​The specific audit, compliance, and governance hurdles you need to clear to be ready for a Series A or a public listing.

• ​The Series A Narrative:

  • ​How to shift your story from "potential" to a "predictable machine" that is ready for both private and public scrutiny.

​Join us for tactical takeaways, actionable checklists, and peer discussion.
