SUMMARY:To Raise or Not to Raise?
DESCRIPTION:Securing funding is a critical milestone for any start-up. In a competitive market\, understanding how to navigate the fundraising process is essential for founders at every stage of growth. This session opens with a panel discussion bringing together industry leaders to unpack what it takes to raise capital today\, the strategies that work\, the tools founders need and the common mistakes that stall a raise. The panel is followed by pitch day\, where 10 sector agnostic start-ups take the stage to present their solutions to a panel of investors and receive live feedback in real time. Founders will leave with a clearer view of what investors look for\, how to structure a compelling pitch and how to avoid the missteps that most often cost a deal.
