Preparing for Your Next Round of Investment

Join an exclusive evening discussion focused on one of the most critical milestones in a founder’s journey — preparing for your next round of investment.

This intimate, invitation-only dinner will bring together up to 15 Founders from across the South West to share insights, challenges, and lessons learned around scaling, fundraising, and investor readiness.

To bring the investor perspective, we’ll be joined by representatives from Foresight Group, who recently opened their Exeter office to support high-growth regional businesses through their dedicated investment fund.

The event is also supported by James Hallam Insurance.

Expect open conversation, real-world insights, and the chance to connect with peers navigating similar growth journeys.

• What investors are really looking for in your next round
• How to position your team, traction, and talent strategy for growth
• Common red flags and deal-breakers investors see
• The shift from early-stage to growth-stage fundraising
