Bagging Your First Investment - Raising Funds from Personal Connections, Angels, Banks and the Crowd

In this final session of the TechForge Accelerator for tech startups, we discuss a range of options for raising investment into your business. Whether you need £5,000 or £500,000, many founders find that they just cannot move forward without some external investment. Thankfully, there are several options out there including Debt (borrowing), Equity (sale of shares in the business) and Crowdfunding (from the general public). This session gives you a tour of these options and helps you understand which are for you. We look at more detail on equity investment too and cover some of the things you will need to know, to pull off your first deal.

The session will be led by one of our highly experienced Tech Scale-Up Advisors.

Ampere.Events X STP Investor Event + !PITCHING!

Join us as we convene 50 Founders and 50 Investors to showcase SY talent and reinvigorate the investment landscape in our home of Sheffield.

Are you a Founder looking to supercharge your business? Do you need funding and advice to scale up and achieve your vision? Is it starting to dawn on you that South Yorkshire has a limited pool of regional investors and you want to broaden the horizon of your network?

As a region we are one of the most innovative, collaborative and creative seen throughout the entire UK. With our culture of unity, camaraderie and knowledge-sharing, alongside housing leading innovative companies, world-class startups, two fantastic Universities, a deep and wide pool of talent, and competitive operational costs, it is no small secret that South Yorkshire is becoming the Startup Capital of the UK. And yet, we are often overlooked by external funding sources and struggle to secure the investments we need to realise our entrepreneurial visions.

What can we collectively do to remedy this? Perhaps we at Ampere-STP have found a solution which can kickstart the change our region deserves.

This is an Ampere & STP event unlike any which have come before! We will be convening investors who have never before ventured to our home of Sheffield. The goal of this event is to showcase the exceptional breadth and depth of talent we have on display in South Yorkshire to a new audience of potential investors. This event offers a chance for Founders to rub shoulders with top-tier angels and VCs from around the UK.

Come along and help us impress our visitors with your ideas, teams, goals and achievements. Receive insightful feedback to refine your business model and growth strategies. Make invaluable connections for future funding rounds. This is all possible in the electric networking environment we've specially designed for founders and funders to seamlessly connect.

The event will involve several pre-agreed companies pitching to a panel and audience, however, there will be over an hour of networking during the event and informal drinks afterwards at a location to be decided.

Attendee spots are limited for this event, so to secure your place make sure you get your tickets as soon as possible! This is one event you absolutely cannot miss if you are serious about accelerating your startup's success.

'Find Your Product Market Fit' By Founders, For Founder Series

Ampere.Events warmly invites you to attend the fourth event in our By Founders For Founder series: Finding your Product Market Fit to maximise success for your startup. Thursday, 22nd of February 2024 15:00-17:00, at Electric Works.

According to business owners, 42% of Startups fail due to misaligned Product Market Fit. Product Market Fit is a crucial early step in laying the foundation for a successful enterprise. So, how do we go about identifying market opportunities, gathering information, and determining the level of interest for a product?

Join us as we explore the topics of market need for your product, how to find and solve product customer pain points and leverage PMF to remain agnostic to market climate and valuation standards. We will hear from experts and founders who have successfully aligned their PMF, offering strategic insights from industry experts who will guide you through the latest trends, successful case studies, best practices for PMF, and what pitfalls to avoid.

Here at Ampere, we have been delighted with the wonderful community of diverse founders we have been cultivating at our events! So come along to meet like-minded innovators, entrepreneurs and disruptors in the South Yorkshire region. We believe that connecting with fellow founders, entrepreneurs, and industry leaders is the key to unlocking the limitless potential for valuable partnerships, collaborations, and business opportunities for the Northern business ecosystem.

The speaker list announced soon.

We look forward to seeing you on February 22nd!

Kind regards

Nick, Peter, and the Creative Space Management Team.

This session gives you a tour of these options and helps you understand which are for you. We look at more detail on equity investment too and cover some of the things you will need to know, to pull off your first deal.

The session will feature both of our highly experienced Tech Scale-Up Advisors and we are delighted to be joined by Emma Cassidy, Investment Manager at DSW Ventures, who invest in rounds of up to £3m in (S)EIS-qualifying Startups and Scaleups, with a focus on the UK regions outside London.

Elevate your business with software innovation

In today’s software-enabled world, SMEs have commonly implemented their own home-grown digital solutions, often acting as their proof-of-concept for new business ideas or to support their business operations. As companies grow, new requirements become more relevant, such as having a software system that can deal with a business’s growing number of clients, or having the opportunity to increase business productivity by better use of digital technologies.

The Applied Software Engineering Research Group (ASERG) has more than 20 years of experience in the ICT industry and offers a range of consultancy services. Join us on 18 April to find out how we can support your business with software innovation.
