>by Industry Events
In the South West it’s hard for creative and purpose-led business ideas to find the finance they need. How can investment work for new founders?
Join us to hear what’s out there, what works and how the market is changing with people who get the ‘game’ of finding investment.
In this event, hear first-hand experience of founders and professionals who’ve sought, secured or passed up investment as they’ve created businesses they believe in. Talks/ discussion 6.00pm – 8.00pm. Networking from 8.00pm.
If you’re a startup or someone who wants to see new ideas in the City get the money they need, this event is an opportunity to come together and learn what’s possible.
We’re pleased to bring you this new series of collab events after a 6-month break!
The event is a collab with Upstarter who are exploring Hopeful Finance – new investment vehicles for creative business.
As always, we focus on the detail, not the hype. No powerpoint, just direct conversations, your questions and discussion.
