In Partnership With

It's nothing new that the world has changed a lot in the past year.

So it’s no surprise that how startups fundraise and close investment has also changed.

How Founders approach investors from cold emails and LinkedIn messages to pitch decks to virtual pitching is a little different.

Most of us are used to it by now, the Zoom calls, the emails and making those virtual connections.

But how can startups optimise fundraising strategies and virtual outreach to close investment quickly?  

In this webinar, General Partner and Co-Founder Craig Bristol Dixon will run through:

  • Accelerating Asia’s step by step guide to fundraising (we’ve helped startups in our accelerator raise S$30M so we have some experience)
  • Early stage fundraising strategies and building up your investor connections remotely.
  • What investors look for in a pitch
  • How to optmise your fundraising pipeline and time for maximum outcomes

This event is for any Startup Founder wanting to get their head around fundraising.
