DeFINE and CAST Investment Readiness Workshop
Apply to attend the Investment Readiness Workshop at the EBN Congress in Rome on Wednesday 23rd October, 2019 in collaboration with DeFINE and CAST (Creative Accelerators Sustainable Tourism). This workshop is designed to help start-ups and SMEs understand how to convince investors to come on board with your start-up and how to best prepare to raising capital.
What exactly makes a young company Investment Ready, which means ready for potential investors? How can you attract seed financing or the first round of financing at the early stage of your venture? What are investors actually expecting from you and why?
The two parts of the Investment Readiness Workshop give you a powerful toolbox to best prepare for attracting equity investment.
