The purpose of this two day event is to help you prepare to get investment from Business Angels, Venture Capitalists and Banks.
Remember- even if you’re not looking for investment now this will be just as valuable, as an investment ready business is a much stronger business than one that is not investment ready! Getting funds from Angels and Venture Capitalists is a sales process and the seminar will take you through the investment journey with the following learning outcomes:
- Understand what an investment is in the eyes of an investor
- What investors are and what they are looking for
- How to get to investors and how they operate
- Preparing the resources required including the Information Memorandum, Business Plan, and Full Pitch
- The stages of the process including research, the approach, and the pitch through to due diligence, the contact and post investment investor management
- The legal and contractual pitfalls and how to avoid them
- Preparing for and managing the Due Diligence process
- Practise and perfect their investment pitch in front of seminar members and visiting investors.
The two day programme will include presentations from a number of external contributors including investors and nationally recognised experts in their fields.
The programme concludes with a pitch to three real Angel investors.
