CONNECTING FOUNDERS WITH INVESTMENT PARTNERS AND CAPITAL
2023 date coming soon
INTRODUCTION
The Raising Capital Summit 2022 will bring together founders and investors to discuss the outlook for investment in Irish companies in a climate of global economic uncertainty and a geo-political crisis in Eastern Europe. It provides a unique opportunity for founders and executives to hear from the investment community on how the environment is shifting and how this impacts their chances of gaining access to capital. The economic landscape is deeply uncertain and investors are trying to navigate much more risk compared with this time last year. Although market sentiment may not be as hot as it was in 2021, there is still a lot of activity happening.
The Summit is designed to boost your knowledge of capital raising options in the current climate, helping you make the right connections, discuss funding options and future growth pathways. It will explore how organisations can secure capital in a competitive landscape and outline the funding options and initiatives available to fund your growth strategy, including private equity, venture capital, debt finance, trade sale or a listing on the stock market.
The Summit will provide practical insights on the importance of understanding what success would look like for your business as this will dictate the type of funding and where it comes from, finding the right partner, how to structure the deal and bringing businesses to IPO. It will feature Spotlight Sessions and Case Studies from CEOs/Founders who have successfully raised different types of funding for companies both big and small. You will hear about angel investors, crowd funding options, debt raising, venture debt and more. So whether you are at the beginning of your entrepreneurial journey or the CEO of an established business come along to get advice and guidance from experienced investors on how to get your business off the ground, expand or transform it.
Our expert speakers will discuss how environmental, social, and governance (ESG) concerns are an increasingly important element of any fundraising decision and how recruitment slowdowns and hiring freezes by big international tech companies is impacting global and local markets.
If you are an investor eager to meet companies poised for growth or a founder trying to understand what funding you can get access to in the current climate, then come along to Croke Park on 16 November and learn how to take your business to the next level of your entrepreneurial journey.
