During this workshop you will hear about the fundamentals of fundraising – from preparation, through successful execution, to post-closing items. With an ever-changing investment landscape, there are numerous things to bear in mind. It is essential to seamlessly match your R&D roadmap to your financial roadmap, have robust financial models to strengthen and validate your proposition with investors and, often overlooked, to manage the fundraising process effectively. Getting all these things right will maximise your chances of closing the round. In this 45 minute workshop we aim to shed more light on this nuanced, yet essential part of running a start-up or scale-up in the life sciences field.
