Helping entrepreneurs to navigate funding landscape.
Many entrepreneurs are confused by the fundraising landscape and to help them navigate the funding landscape better, we’ve designed this programme to help to demystify the funding options available to founders and entrepreneurs and to provide the skills and knowledge needed to fund business growth.
Who is it for?
The Programme is for entrepreneurs ranging from early-stage businesses to established scale-ups who are looking for investment, or funding to develop and grow their business.
Why Join?
We know entrepreneurs often get lost in a maze of funding options. The Programme is designed to help businesses better understand the options available, as well as sharing best practices to secure the right type of funding for their business.
How it works
The Programme is delivered online via virtual workshops and educational content, as well virtual training and mentoring sessions. Once you have been accepted onto the programme, we will share all the details of upcoming workshops and mentoring support available.
