How to find investors & build connections
Thursday | August 5, 2021
From 5pm to 6pm (GMT+8)
There's not many in-person networking and pitch events these days. And for some Founders, it's no surprise the last 18 months has changed how startups raise and close investment.
But it is still possible to build your investor funnel and connections virtually, using LinkedIn, events, platforms and more.
But how can startups optimise fundraising strategies and virtual outreach to close investment quickly?
In this webinar, General Partner and Co-Founder Craig Bristol Dixon and Marketing Manager Rohana Wood will run through:
Early-stage fundraising strategies and building up your investor connections remotely.
Tips and tricks for finding the right investors for your startup
Ways to build relationships with potential investors
This event is for any Startup Founder wanting to get their head around fundraising.
Note: this event will be on Zoom! You will receive an email with details at signup.
There'll be the opportunities for a Q&A at the end of the session!
