SUMMARY:Show Me The Money [Online]
DESCRIPTION:​Money makes the world go round\, but in the female founder landscape\, it’s harder than ever to secure private investment. We’ve all heard the stats about just 2% of VC funding going to all-female teams. But is VC funding what you actually need? Are Angel Investors really right for you? \nIt’s a minefield\, so this event is designed to help you navigate the world of finance and funding; both now and as you scale. \n​You might decide to keep bootstrapping your way to the top\, in which case nailing your outgoings will be crucial. Perhaps there are debt finance options you haven’t explored like bank loans\, or even (albeit few and far between) grants available. Have you considered crowdfunding as an option? Maybe you’ll come away from the event even more convinced that equity investment is what you need to reach your goals. But let’s really understand the options and make the right decisions! \nThis online event will give you access to: \n\nExperts in debt finance – banking\, loans\, and invoice finance\nFacilitators of grants\nA founder who’s recently completed a very successful crowdfunding campaign\nAn active Angel Investor\nAn investor in the VC space\n\n​Tickets are free to both members and non-members of The 51% Club and the advice is tailored for a female founder audience. \nClick here to register. \nIf you haven’t already\, you can sign up to The 51% Club here.  \n

SUMMARY:Show Me The Money: Funding & Investment Strategies To Fuel Growth
DESCRIPTION:Money makes the world go round\, but in the female founder landscape\, it’s harder than ever to secure private investment. We’ve all heard the stats about just 2% of VC funding going to all-female teams. But is VC funding what you actually need? Are Angel Investors really right for you? \nIn our first event\, we’re going to dive deep into the money options available as you scale. \nYou might decide to keep bootstrapping your way to the top\, in which case nailing your outgoings will be crucial. Perhaps there are debt finance options you haven’t explored like bank loans\, or even (albeit few and far between) grants available. Have you considered crowdfunding as an option? Maybe you’ll come away from the event even more convinced that private investment is what you need to reach your goals. But let’s really understand the options and make the right decisions. \nWe’ll be joined by Charlotte Bowden from Business Growth West Midlands who will take us through the money landscape for founders. Following which\, you’ll get time to ask your burning questions to a panel of experts: \n\nTracy Sherratt\, UK Network Senior Manager (West Midlands)\, British Business Bank – talking all things banking and loans\nSadie Jones\, Founder of She Beasts CIC – who has raised over £10\,000 through her community with crowdfunding\nJude Hough\, Innovation and Growth Specialist at Innovate UK – who will be there to talk about their latest grants\nDrew Currie\, Founder of business support platform hibretOne\, who delivers a free monthly email on business grants available in the West Midlands\nRupert Lyle\, Fund Principal for the West Midlands Co-Investment Fund and Investment Director at Midven\nSamantha Tubb\, an active Angel Investor\n\nWe want you to leave this event inspired to smash your finance goals! \nFree tickets are available to registered members: CLICK HERE.\n \nIf you haven’t already\, you can sign up to The 51% Club here.
