About this Event
This first workshop in our six-part Funding Accelerator series is designed to
help you align your growth goals with the right funding strategy. Because chasing the
wrong money can cost more than just equity, it can cost you your vision.
Why attend?
- A clear and compelling value proposition is the cornerstone of a successful business. It’s not just about what your product or service does—it’s about why it matters to your customers. A well-crafted value proposition communicates the unique benefits you deliver, differentiates your offering from competitors, and resonates with the specific pain points and aspirations of your target customer. In this presentation, we’ll explore the key elements of an effective value proposition and how to align it with customer needs.
- Clarify your growth goals: Step back from the day-to-day and reconnect with the
bigger picture. What does success really look like for you?
- Find the right funding fit: Explore the full funding landscape and learn how to match
your business needs with the right capital and if funding is even the right move.
- Avoid costly missteps: Misaligned funding can slow you down or burn you out. This
session helps you make confident, strategic decisions from the start.
- Practical, not just theory: Through guided exercises and real-world examples, you’ll
leave with a clearer funding roadmap tailored to your business.
- Build on your terms: Whether you’re bootstrapping, scaling fast, or somewhere in
between, this workshop helps you fund your vision, your way.
