Are you looking to secure investment to grow your business? Do you want to learn how to identify the right investors and build relationships with them, to pitch, and close deals? If so, this interactive workshop, organized together with all the start- and scale-up hubs in Delft*, is just what you need!

This workshop is designed to help start- and scale-up founders like you understand the investment landscape and navigate the fundraising process with confidence. We invited experienced experts from 280ppm, FORWARD.one, and SHIFT to share their knowledge and expertise, giving you the tools and strategies you need to succeed. We will kick off the workshop with a short introduction of the experts, followed by a panel discussion. This is why we kindly ask you to share your questions or challenges related to this topic beforehand, if possible.
