Funding for impact: strategies and tactics to de-risk your funding round.

Impact startups have a particularly hard time raising capital. At the same time, impact investors struggle to find the right opportunities.

Join us on Slush Day Zero for a curated roundtable conversation between founders, to share challenges and experience on raising capital for impact. You’ll meet other impact founders plus a selected group of impact investors from the Benelux and from the Nordics who share their perspectives to provide potential solutions.

No pitches, no presentations, but a deepdive focused on peer-to-peer learning. The session is open to founders of impact startups attending Slush2024. After the roundtable, for those who want, we will walk to Café Ursula where a lunch buffet will be waiting for us.
