Fuelling Your Future: Investor Panel

This investor panel got real.

Hosted by Andy Hodgetts, four seasoned investors - Lucy Merson (Foresight Group), Ashley Abrahams (Guinness Ventures), and Vinay Solanki (Channel 4 Ventures) - got straight into sharing exactly what founders need to know before raising capital.

From the right timing to raise, to how investors really judge your deck, to why chasing vanity valuations can backfire - this is the unfiltered truth about fundraising in 2025 and beyond.

If you’re gearing up for your next raise, this is one session you’ll want to watch start to finish.
