About this Event

WHAT IS IT?


Pathways to Startup Funding is an interactive workshop designed to guide early-stage founders through the complex landscape of startup financing. Participants will explore various funding options including bootstrapping, grants, angel investment, venture capital, and crowdfunding.

This is part one of a series of three startup funding workshops:

  • Pathways to Startup Funding
  • Getting Investment Ready
  • Understanding SEIS funding



WHO IS THIS FOR?

This workshop is for early-stage founders, aspiring entrepreneurs, and startups who want to understand how to fund and grow their business effectively.

  • Ideal for anyone exploring different ways to raise capital — from bootstrapping to venture funding.
  • Perfect if you’re preparing to seek investment or want to make sense of the UK funding landscape.
  • Open to students, alumni, and entrepreneurs at any stage of their journey who want to make informed decisions about financing their ideas.

No prior experience required — just curiosity and a willingness to learn how to fuel your startup’s next stage of growth.
