Free INVESTMENT WORKSHOP: VC & Bank Investment Support Workshop
Are you currently looking for investment for your startup?
Together with the Economic Development Agency, we’re here to support you if you’re looking to finance your startup with help from venture capitalists (VCs) or banks. In March, we’re offering four free workshops on this topic at the MAFINEX Technology Center (Meeting Room A3).
The goal of the four workshops is, among other things, to find answers to the following questions:
- How much capital do I need?
- Which financing option is right for me?
- Who can I contact, and how do I go about contacting them?
Are you dying to know the answers, and do you want to be part of it?
Then sign up now—no later than March 1, 2023.
At an introductory meeting on March 8, 2024 (2:00–4:00 p.m.), we will discuss your individual needs, get to know one another, and cover the topic of PITCH.
Workshop I: VC & BUSINESS MODEL (March 12, 2024, 3:00–5:00 p.m.) Fundamentals of investment from a VC perspective
From clarifying key terms in the field of investment to general challenges and individual projects and opportunities: In this workshop, we will explore the perspectives of venture capitalists and business model development.
Workshop II: FINANCIALS (March 20, 2024, 3:00–5:00 p.m.) What Do Banks Want to See? Speaker: Sven Birkner (VR-Bank)
What should you keep in mind when it comes to financial planning? What are the key ‘dos” and “don’ts” when planning for revenue, liquidity, and profitability, for example? In this workshop, you’ll learn about the banks’ perspective and the essential elements to consider throughout the entire financing planning process in order to make a compelling case. For this, we’ve invited Sven Birkner (Consulting for SMEs & Startups) from VR Bank Rhein Neckar.
In the second part of the workshop, we'll focus on funding programs such as Startup BW Pre-Seed.
Workshop III: PITCH DECK (March 26, 2024, 3:00–5:00 p.m.) The teams will give their pitches and provide each other with feedback
Over the course of the year, we’re planning two more events that you can attend following the workshops: a Technology Venture Day (a speed-dating-style event with investors) and a similar event featuring banks—such as Sparkasse, VR-Bank, etc.—instead of investors.
