Preparing for Your Next Round of Investment

About the Event

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.
