About This Event
Most businesses in the UK don’t fail because the idea is bad.
They fail because the cash runs out.
Whether you’re a start-up trying to get off the ground or a long-trading business trying to scale, the number one barrier is always the same:
→ Not knowing how to pitch
→ Not knowing where to access funds
→ Not knowing how to secure the right partner
→ Not knowing how lenders and investors really think
This masterclass changes all of that.
What To Expect
This is NOT a teacher-led classroom.
This is NOT theory.
This is NOT a motivational seminar.
This is a practitioner-led, experience-driven funding masterclass delivered by Mike Greene who has:

→ Invested in 35+ SEIS and EIS ventures, including Shazam, Bolt, Chargemaster
→ Sat on hundreds of investment panels and heard thousands of pitches
→ Built and sold businesses across 20+ countries
