This two-day intensive coaching helps you to understand how investors think, what different funding paths look like, and how to make strategic choices that unlock growth capital.

The program covers equity funding, non-equity financing, and practical financing strategy. During the two days you will learn how startups and SMEs are categorized, what makes a company investment-ready, how valuation and terms work in practice, and how different funding instruments affect long-term strategy and exit options.

Through lectures and workshops, you will build a realistic financing roadmap for your own company—combining equity, debt, and public funding instruments into a coherent growth plan. You will gain clearer strategy, stronger investment readiness, and a concrete plan to finance growth.

Join us if you are a founder, early-stage startup or a growth-oriented SME who wants to find clarity, confidence, and concrete tools for funding discussions.
