About this Event

Platform Calgary's Raising Capital Series is specifically designed for startup founders seeking to better understand the different capital sources available to them as they launch and grow their business. If you're getting ready to raise capital in the next 6-12 months, consider this essential advice that will allow you to navigate the capital landscape with confidence.


This link is for Raising Capital 201. Find the link to Raising Capital 101 here:


Over the course of each 3 hour session, George Damian, Director of Platform Calgary's National Bank Investor Hub, will provide participants with a solid understanding of the key elements of raising capital, including the inherent tradeoffs involved when founders seek external funding sources.


Based on his personal experience with hundreds of founders, he'll highlight the differences that separate rookies from pros so that you can put your best foot forward as you launch your next (and possibly first) funding round.


This cohort will be open to any founders.


In the second session on Oct 14, we’ll cover:

  • Foundations of Raising Capital
  • The Venture Investment Cycle & Where you Fit In
  • Investment Vehicles
  • Digging into Due Diligence: What to Expect When You're Raising
  • Cap Table 101
  • Valuation: How to Know What your Startup is Worth
  • Startup Investor AMA: Ask your Burning Questions
  • Where do I go from here?


As a special bonus, Founders who complete both Raising Capital 101 and 201 will receive an exclusive 1-hour session with one of Platform Calgary's Investor Coaches to tighten up their pitch and get ready to raise.
