This week, the GC Angels team delivered the final workshop to Cohort 1, centred around term sheets; what they are, where they sit in the investment process and key terms that founders may come across.
Two more of GC Angels' portfolio founders, Eleanor Harry from HACE and Elliot Roxby from OurPetsLife spoke about the need to be resilient to be a successful founder. Describing some of the challenges they have overcome that have impacted their businesses and personal lives.
