One of the biggest pitfalls in small start-up businesses is the lack of capital and investment. While lots of web sites, such as TechCrunch, report on the success stories of those who raised investment,  strategies for successful fundraising remain unclear. In this workshop, Tom will take you through his journey that saw him raise £8m+ for his two startups: eCourier.co.uk & Shutl. He will talk through methods of raising capital from bank, angels & venture capitalists and give a picture of basic fundraising readiness & strategy. Tom will give high level overview and then aim to answer any questions that you may have.
