Join Denise McQuaid, Founder of AwakenHub and AwakenAngels, for dedicated Female Founder Lunch & Learn focused on all things fundraising.
About this Event

This interactive “lunch and learn” will explore how to build investment readiness, prepare to raise capital, and navigate your fundraising journey with greater clarity. Denise will share practical insights on what investors look for, how to position your opportunity, and how to make the process as smooth and strategic as possible.

The session will also include an open Ask Me Anything segment, giving founders the opportunity to raise questions on funding pathways, pitching, investor engagement or any barriers you may be facing on your startup journey.

A supportive, practical forum designed to demystify fundraising and help you move forward with confidence.
