About the event
Every funding conversation has an unspoken knowledge gap.
Investors have seen hundreds of deals. Debt specialists know the terms inside out. Lawyers know exactly which clauses matter. And you're making one of the biggest decisions of your business's life, often for the first time, while everyone else in the room is miles ahead.
This breakfast is about levelling the playing field.
Join us on Tuesday 10 November at 8:30am in London for a special morning with Steven Bernstein, co-founder & CEO of Lawrence Stephens. Speaking as both a legal expert and a founder himself, Steven will be teaming up with Ruth Coleman, VC Investor, Mercia to walk our network through:
What to look for in the contracts, and where investors catch founders out
What gives funders confidence, what makes them nervous, and how you can influence both
