About Course 1: Types of Funding

When we think of investment, our thoughts may quickly turn to people in business attire making tough demands and asking difficult questions. Yet the world of funding is (thankfully) a lot more approachable and versatile than that.

And that is a very good thing!

Because it is important that the type of funding you are going to use suits your business as well as you as a person! We will discuss the different sources of investment and we will consider the following:

What does it entail?
What are the advantages?
What are the disadvantages?
Does it fit your business?
Does it suit you (and your team)?

From theory to practice.

We will also answer the question of why it is important to assemble your team timely and thoughtfully. Of course, our various experts will also share their knowledge and wisdom with you in the process, so you can get started based on their experience! In addition, we will challenge you to apply everything you learn directly to your own business.

At the end of this course, you will know what your options are and you will be ready to get funded!

About Course 2: Meeting with investors.

This course will cover the essential aspects that are important to consider before you sit down with an investor. Our experts Janneke Niessen - who is an investor - and Micky Chen - who is a founder - share their stories from their own perspective. This will give you an idea of what is going on on both sides of the table.

Prep for succes.

We also cover topics your company will (most likely) have to deal with, including:

Finding the right investor
Understanding investors jargon
The product-market fit
Understanding finance
Taking care of due diligence
Handling product demos

Additional content.

As always, several experts will share their knowledge and experience with you, so you know what to be wary of in your business. By the end of this course, you’ll know all essential aspects of preparing for a fruitful funding conversation and are ready to meet the investors.

Try before you buy.

Because we understand that you want to spend your money wisely, you can follow the module “Pitching” for free. In this module Bonnie shares her tips and tricks about a successful pitch.

Although it’s just a sneak peek of what the full program has to offer, it will give you a taste of the FEM-START courses.
