Why?
For Start-Ups and small companies growth capital is what is often hard to come by. Venture and angel capital is often the right option, though many entrepreneurs find it hard to access.
This is why GrowthAccelerator, Mother and MiniBar have teamed up to create a one day series of workshops covering topics such as, ‘how to pitch your idea’, ‘an insight into the investment landscape’ and ‘the role creative branding plays in growing companies’.
What?
We are offering 20 companies the chance to attend a day of workshops and trial pitches at Mother HQ in Shoreditch. Over the course of the day you will meet a series of experienced VC’s, angels and successful entrepreneurs taking the workshops, then later during our trial pitches you can present your own idea in front of a group of judges comprising of investors and experienced entrepreneurs.
If you want to attend please email Katie Lewis – k.lewis@e-synergy.com – a one page executive summary, which must include your company name, registration number and telephone number. She will then inform you, if you have been selected to attend.
The top company, as selected by our panel of experts, will get to pitch again at a MiniBar Meetup that evening in front of 250 techies and digerati.
