What will I learn?

Fundraising as an SME is tough. Typically, growth is funded by giving away equity, but it reduces a founder’s control over their business, and it is expensive too. With so many funding options available, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed, or trust that your accountant has it covered.

But understanding and applying funding options strategically can complement equity to maximise product development, commercialisation, and valuation. This webinar will cut through the noise and clearly explain how different funding options align with different business goals, and when they should be applied for maximum impact and minimal equity dilution.

Join us for this free webinar and we’ll help you understand:

  • – The innovation funding circle
  • – How to create and apply your funding strategy
  • – How to retain equity
