Raising Finance is a hot topic for anyone starting or growing a business.

We have invited financial experts and experienced entrepreneurs to discuss their insights, tips and pro's and cons' of raising finance from banks, business angels and venture capitalists.

The discussion will cover how to structure the partnerships, pitch your proposal and any other burning questions you might want to ask.

We encourage discussion and interaction throughout the event so you come away with the knowledge that you came for.

Our speakers include:
