Looking for funding? Learn how to match your funding strategy to your goals - scale without losing direction.
About this Event

This first workshop in our six-part Funding Accelerator series is designed to help you align your growth goals with the right funding strategy. Because chasing the wrong money can cost more than just equity, it can cost you your vision.


Why attend?

• Clarify your growth goals: Step back from the day-to-day and reconnect with the bigger picture. What does success really look like for you?

• Find the right funding fit: Explore the full funding landscape and learn how to match your business needs with the right capital and if funding is even the right move.

• Avoid costly missteps: Misaligned funding can slow you down or burn you out. This session helps you make confident, strategic decisions from the start.

• Practical, not just theory: Through guided exercises and real-world examples, you’ll leave with a clearer funding roadmap tailored to your business.

• Build on your terms: Whether you’re bootstrapping, scaling fast, or somewhere in between, this workshop helps you fund your vision, your way.


Speaker Bios:

Hear real stories from founders and experts who’ve navigated the funding journey, what worked, what didn’t, and what they’ve learnt.



This session is ideal for:

• Entrepreneurs and founders at any stage, whether you're just starting out or already scaling.

• Business owners exploring funding for the first time or reassessing their current strategy.

• Startup teams looking to align their growth goals with the right funding approach.

• Purpose-driven leaders who want to grow without compromising their values or vision.

• Anyone who thinks they need funding but don’t know where to go to find it.
