Funding an Early Stage Tech Business - by Business Sheffield
Description changed:

About this event
Many tech founders find they need to access to early stage external finance, in order to continue making progress with their business.
In this workshop, we focus specifically on the different types of financial instrument – debt, equity, crowd-funding and grant funding - that tech founders may be able to tap into.
Our Tech Scale-up Advisor has helped dozens of business raise investment and will give you an overview of these different funding sources, help you understand their appropriateness, and gain insight into how to attract them.
This workshop can be attended as a standalone session, or as the final workshop in our series of four, on topics relating to growing a tech business.
Content themes covered in this session:
The Funding Round
Characteristics of Different Types of Finance
Grant funding
Debt finance
Equity finance including Angel and VC Investment
Crowdfunding
Investment Readiness & Attracting Finance
Role of Accelerators, Mentors and Advisors
