EYnovation™ Bootcamp: Get Investor Ready!
EYnovation™ invited several experts who are eager to share with you some hands-on advice and tips & tricks to successfully close a fundraising.
A three-day bootcamp
On Monday August 5, startups with an investor-readiness mentality are invited at the new EY Wavespace in Antwerp for the Bootcamp: Get investor ready! This day you'll get to know the VC landscape, the VCs mindset and recognize the impact of biases on the screening decision. Afterwards, a hands-on workshop on pitching techniques will help you to finetune yours.
On Friday August 9, we'll perform a detailed analysis of the contents of the term sheet, the document most commonly used to support the negotiation phase. In the afternoon, we"ll assist you in building your own financial plan and detailed cash flow projections using EY's Finance Navigator. In this way, you'll be ready to assess your funding need in the future.
The last day, Monday 19th, we'll listen to succesful entrepreneurs and their experience with a VC on board. Afterwards, each of you has the chance to pitch your elevated startup idea to a panel of business experts and VC investors. Finally, to close the bootcamp, you'll get the opportunity to lunch with VC's and get connected!
