Meet a Venture Capital investor

Thinking about whether investment is right for your business?

Find out how to speak to venture capital investors, what they look for and how to approach them. Having helped raise, deploy and manage a fund of £100m, a friend of the Business Gateway, with a background in technology regulation and investment, will share the mechanics of how venture investing works:

• How do VCs find pipeline (source investments)
• What are VCs looking for (fund returns)
• Who and what do you need to have in place (team, deck, model, projections)
• How do you pitch (deck, meetings, relationship)
• Where to find investors (network vs research)
• When not to seek VC investment (other types of funding)

She will be sharing the secrets of what decisions really go into backing businesses from an investor’s perspective. If you’re looking for investors in your business, this is a must-attend event which will be held under the Chatham House rule.
