We've hit the half way point for our investment readiness accelerator...
This week the cohort spent the morning with Joe van Gelder James Moss and Jonny Curtis from Powdr - the Seal Team 6 of financial modelling - followed by a session on investor engagement led by GC Angels in the afternoon.
And we brought in some more A-list support to help us; Keith Benson from DSW Ventures and D'Arcy Jade Martin from Outward VC gave us the investor perspective on what they look for with founder outreach at early-stage - and then we heard from Dan Sandler - founder of Veridox - who shared some of his outreach strategies that resulted in him receiving 8 term sheets from investors in both the UK and US for his pre-seed round.
Outside catering was provided by Marc Shirman who picked up 35 portions of fish and chips and delivered them personally to the cohort for their lunch.
