Following on from the launch of the East Midlands Combined County Authority’s (EMCCA) £8m Early Stage Angel Investment Fund in July, we’re excited to announce that we will be hosting the first in a series of high growth focused investment ready workshops for 15 selected ambitious businesses in early autumn.
This first fully funded workshop will be run by FundingHero, the Midlands based specialist high growth investment readiness provider. This initiative is being sponsored by East Midlands Combined County Authority, British Business Bank and Barclays Eagle Labs to specifically support businesses who are looking to raise their first or second major external funding round for Pre Seed to Series A companies to allow them to expand and scale.
These in-person workshops will provide access to high growth funding and CFO level scaleup expertise that may not normally be attainable to businesses based on their stage of growth.
The workshops will cover four key areas: Fundraise Planning, Financial Strategy, Fundraise Budget and Fundraise Timeline, so businesses understand the rigours of the process when planning to raise external investment from the range of different funding sources of debt and equity. Alongside this, an exclusive twelve-month licence to the FundingHero investment readiness platform will be provided to the 15 selected workshop participants and a further one hundred one-month licences will be made available to interested parties considering raising external investment to grow and scale.
VENUE: University of Derby
DATE: Wednesday 9th October 2024
TIME: 9.00am to 1.00pm
