​Rare Founders presents: Fundraising Strategy with Jamie Reynolds

​Raising capital is hard work. You need a plan that works today.

​We are joined by Jamie Reynolds to discuss how you actually get funded. Jamie is a former founder. He raised investment for multiple companies over the years. Now he shares his experience with founders like you.

​We will talk about the strategy and the actual steps you need to take. We will cover the mistakes you must avoid. This session is super useful because it is actionable.

​This is a rare opportunity to hear from someone with real experience. You will get the truth here. No generic advice. No Chatbot answers.

​Why attend

• ​Real Experience: Learn from a founder who has successfully raised money.

• ​Open Mic Pitching: Get your startup in front of the room.

• ​Networking: Connect with founders and investors who are active in the UK scene.

​The Format

​The night is split between the fireside chat and our legendary open mic sessions. Every 20–30 minutes, we randomly select 5–6 fundraising founders. You get 60 seconds to sell your vision.
