My friend Doug Richard and his School for Startups is running what will be a superb seminar on raising financing in London and if you are in that area I urge you to attend if you are raising funding, or if you will ever need too.
If I was in London I would go and I have successfully raised $millions…this will be a fantastic opportunity to learn all the stuff “no-one ever tells you”…real world hints and tips you should know.
Here’s the details:
The School for Startups team are presenting at The Royal Institution. A must-attend event for any budding entrepreneur, " Find, Pitch & Close: The Art of Securing Investment " is hosted personally by Doug Richard and is a cornerstone of the School for Startups curriculum.
The seminar will cover 2x 2-hour sessions followed by a live and interactive 90-minute Dragon’s Den style "entrepreneur surgery" global webcast. As an attendee you will have the opportunity to ask Doug and our Special Guest speaker Brent Hoberman questions – and participate as international viewers contribute ideas via the live chat-room!
At "Find, Pitch & Close” you will learn:
The key questions every entrepreneur must be able to answer when considering seeking investment:
• How to know when you’re ready for money
• How to know how much money you need
• Identifying the different types of money
• Where to find investors
• How to create the perfect pitch
• The rules of how to interview an investor
• The secrets of increasing your value
• How to be savvy and cut the best deal
• 3 things to avoid in any investment
Special Guest Appearance by Brent Hoberman, founder of Lastminute.com and the recently launched PROfounders Capital, will also be talking about raising investment from his own experience.
