3-day Investment Readiness Bootcamp

Later this fall, and also next winter, there will be a couple of opportunities for entrepreneurs who are seeking investment to get in front of investors (more details about those opportunities will come later). The first steps in preparing for these opportunities is:

Identifying worthy entrepreneurs who wish to seek investment in their business;
Identifying potential investors;
Training the entrepreneurs in investment readiness.

Catapult is planning to deliver a 3-day Investment Readiness Bootcamp , August 20-22. We are putting together the wireframe for this training as we speak. It will be priced at $599 for the 3 days, and we have a subsidy available, so the entrepreneur would pay only $298.

Here’s how you can help:

If you know of great entrepreneurs (either is start-up or scale-up) who are seeking investment, send them our way.
If you know of VC or Angel or prospecting investors looking for places to put their money, put them in touch with me.
If you can help deliver a component of the investment readiness training and/or would like to sit on the pitch-critiquing panel on day 3, please let me know.
If you wish to help plan or sponsor this event, we’d be delighted to have you along for the ride.
