What to expect?

-Each event will include a short introduction from Praetura on “What VCs Won’t Tell You” and offer insight into the funding process.

We will show which investors are active in the space and where you can find them.

-We will then be split out into smaller groups with an investor, later stage founder and an adviser included in each for the chance to get more direct feedback on your pitches. Each founder will be given a short pitch and the group will discuss and offer feedback.

-We will then reform as one group and discuss key learnings and best practice. We will also be interviewing a later stage founder to get their experience to share their journey to date.

-Finally we will finish up with some drinks and networking with founders, investors and advisers.

-Afterwards, every attendee will be sent a set of exclusive resources produced by Praetura on pitching and the investment landscape.

Why?

Raising money is hard and too often founders aren’t given the right tools or told the right facts. We want to create a safe space where we can give real feedback and help share the best tips so more founders can get the funding they need in the future. No sponsors, no set agendas, just an afternoon of honest advice and support.

If there are any areas you would like covered on the day or questions you want answered, please email ben.davies@praetura.co.uk or laura.hough@praetura.co.uk to ensure we factor these in to the days plans. Thanks and we look forward to seeing you.
