Most aspirers have felt the frustration of having big dreams crushed because of a lack of funding. For most entrepreneurs, securing investment is an uphill battle where the top is never achieved. But what if we told you that the key to breaking through those barriers isn’t just about the money…it’s about being in the right room with the right people who can connect you to the money?
On Tuesday, 4th February 2025, we’re bringing together ambitious entrepreneurs, pro experts, and funding specialists at iSE’s Women’s Enterprise and Community Hub in Birmingham for an event that could change your business journey.
From Frustration to Confidence: A Pathway to Growth
Finding the right support to scale your vision is never easy. This event is designed to help you overcome those hurdles by giving you access to:
Expert Insights: Learn from the investment specialists at Oxford Innovation, who will guide you through the strategies you need to secure funding.
Practical Tools: Actionable steps to make your business investment ready and learn the art of successful fundraising.
Valuable Connections: Connect with a supportive community of like-minded entrepreneurs who know what it’s like to face the same challenges.
This isn’t just another networking session; it’s a chance to surround yourself with people who understand your struggles and from lived experience can help you take that next step.
Why This Matters
Maybe you’ve pitched countless times but struggled to get the support you need. Maybe you’ve held back because the process feels intimidating. Wherever you are on your journey, the truth is that funding isn’t just about numbers…it’s about relationships, confidence, and being prepared.
Gain practical advice, as well as the encouragement to believe in your business and take bold action. Because at the end of the day, the right investment can do more than fund your growth; it can turn your dreams into reality.
A Collaboration of Impact
This event is brought to you by iSE in partnership with Oxford Innovation, Access 2 Finance, Funders Collective, and Business Growth West Midlands. Together, we’re working to create an ecosystem where entrepreneurs thrive, breaking down barriers and building opportunities.
