What to expect

The process of raising capital can be stressful and confusing. Over the next three sessions, we’re going to ensure you understand how the investment process works and that you’re prepared. We will help you identify if this is right for you and determine the right type of money for your business. Thereafter, we’ll look at the investment process and how to prepare for it. We’ll also explore some key tools and terms and finally we will discuss pitching and why it’s so critical.

Our course in entrepreneurs' words

"straightforward" | "honest" | "so useful" | "spot on" | "awesome"

You build an early-stage startup and you tend to forget some realities... This brought me back to basics and allowed me to rethink some of the things I have lost focus on. 
Evan (Kenya)
A testament to innovation and vision... a soft and inviting entry into a world of possibilities. The program masterfully combines the art of persuasion with a gentle approach, creating a narrative that draws you in and keeps you engaged.
Ali (Mozambique)
The points were really interesting and need to be known... Thank you for providing such amazing training. [It] helped me to think deeply about each and every activity I do as an entrepreneur.
