Planning for investments: Fundraising strategy, legal matters and investor outreach (Copenhagen)

Together with our partners at Denmark’s Export and Investment Fund (EIFO), Nielsen Nørager Law and Hejm Vilsgaard Law, we are excited to invite our network of startup founders to a seminars focusing on how to plan for an succesfull early stage funding round. 

The seminars will take place in both Aarhus and Copenhagen, and will focus on how you make sure that you come prepared to the first investor meetings.

We will not focus much on pitch deck and the pitch, but more on how to make sure that you have a clear action plan for your fundraising, that you know what you look for and not look for, understand the different types of investor and their focus and that you have the needed legal documents in place.

Each seminar will have limited seats to ensure a good dialogue.
