About this Event

About This Event

Most businesses in the UK don’t fail because the idea is bad.

They fail because the cash runs out.


Whether you’re a start-up trying to get off the ground or a long-trading business trying to scale, the number one barrier is always the same:

→ Not knowing how to pitch

→ Not knowing where to access funds

→ Not knowing how to secure the right partner

→ Not knowing how lenders and investors really think

This masterclass changes all of that.



What To Expect

This is NOT a teacher-led classroom.

This is NOT theory.

This is NOT a motivational seminar.


This is a practitioner-led, experience-driven funding masterclass delivered by Mike Greene who has:

Raised over £40 million to scale businesses

Invested in 35+ SEIS and EIS ventures, including Shazam, Bolt, Chargemaster

Sat on hundreds of investment panels and heard thousands of pitches

Built and sold businesses across 20+ countries

→ Seen exactly why banks say yes, and why they say no

→ Seen exactly why investors walk away, and why they write cheques

You are learning from someone who has walked the talk, written the cheques, raised the money, and scaled the businesses.



Who This Is For

→ Start-ups seeking investment

→ Established businesses needing cash to scale

→ Founders who want to pitch confidently

→ Business owners struggling with cash flow

→ Anyone who wants to understand investors, lenders, and funding partners

→ Tradespeople, professionals, coaches, consultants, retailers, services... any sector, any size


If you want to grow, you need cash.

If you want cash, you need to pitch to win.

This day teaches you exactly how.



What You’ll Learn

→ The psychology of lenders and investors

→ The 7 things every funder looks for (and the 3 that instantly K*ll a deal)

→ How to package your business so it becomes “investable”

→ How to explain your numbers so they make sense to a funder

→ How to present yourself as a safe, credible, and scalable bet

→ How to build trust quickly in your pitch

→ How to choose the right type of funding for your stage

→ Banks vs investors vs private lenders vs partners — what they want and why

→ How to build a pitch deck/pitch narrative that gets taken seriously

→ How to connect, attract, and close the right funding partners

→ The exact structure of a winning pitch

→ The “too risky” labels and how to remove them instantly


This is the knowledge most entrepreneurs never get taught.

Learn it once: use it for life.
