🚀 Day 1 of Venture Forward Launch Cohort at campfieldmcr , Manchester and we’re diving straight into what actually matters when raising capital.

If you’re a startup looking to scale and just like me don’t know how to raise funds from external investors, what the process looks like, who to pitch, and find this whole thing overwhelming... stay tuned.

For the next 8 weeks, this is ALL I’ll be learning, sharing, and talking about. This is my journey of learning how to raise, and I’m taking you along for the ride.

Raising funds is no easy game. It requires grit, resilience, and most importantly, a coachable attitude.

Are you willing to learn? That’s the question.

Huge thanks to GC Angels for organising this incredible cohort. Let’s build something extraordinary. 💡
