THE PROGRAM OVERVIEW
Reach investor-readiness and find an investor for your business
Your startup is currently seeking financing and warm intros to investors? Then this is the perfect 3+5 day program for you.
Bootcamp:
After a warm welcome onsite in Walldorf you will have the chance to network with fellow B2B founders. On this first day, we will introduce you to the world of financing rounds. You will receive input from Vcs and experienced founders and have plenty of time to exchange ideas with each other. Day 2 is all about the preparation of financing rounds. We will give you inputs to select the right investors and convince them of your company. The third day is all about closing the financing round. Which terms need to be considered and how do I negotiate correctly?
Masterclass:
In the masterclass you will receive a deep dive into all the important topics. In intensive 1o1 sessions, mentors will coach you on topics such as financial plans and law. Afterwards there will be an investor matching. Here you will meet potential investors who already have a concrete interest in your startup.
