Three hands-on sessions to help you prepare for raising internationally

Prepare for raising funds to grow your business.

The Funding Academy is designed for founders who want to sharpen their fundraising strategy and get ready for investors – without guessing what’s expected.

Across three focused half-day sessions, you’ll:

• Work with financial and legal experts on what investors look for.
• Hear unfiltered stories from founders who’ve raised before you.
• Discuss your own situation with peers facing the same challenges

Participation is free for all FGC members.
