Meet the funder: Funding for growth & innovation

At a time when raising early stage investment is challenging, we're bringing together investors and advisers to understand the mind of an investor and explore their thinking when looking at new opportunities.

This is your opportunity to question investors and think again about your own business proposition. We'll also hear from founders about their journey to secure funding to scale up.

Speakers:

- Louis Taylor, CEO of the British Business Bank is our keynote speaker talking about the importance of the Bank’s mission to make the finance markets work better for smaller businesses

- Chris Rees & Norbert Morawetz of Henley Business Angels will give an update about the network’s latest investments and successes, and the local landscape for early stage investment.

- A leading accounting firm will talk about the due diligence essentials when seeking investment.

- Susan Elliott, Senior Manager for the South East at the British Business Bank will host a conversation with:

• Business leaders and founders who will take us through their business journey and the highs and lows of securing finance
• Active angel investors to give us their perspective on what a good investment opportunity looks like.
