Last night, we were delighted to gather a panel of female investors and entrepreneurs at Barclays Fintech Accelerator space in Whitechapel to discuss the process of fundraising for our members. Here is a brief recap of the event, the take aways of the discussion and short snippet of the wise words spoken last night by some of the greatest experienced business women found in the UK at the moment.

Eileen, Kate, Alexandra, Kelsey and Linsey

We could not have dreamt of a better panel to discuss the topic of fundraising. Two well achieved women VCs and three women entrepreneurs that either have just closed rounds of investments, worked in venture capital or exited companies.

Investors and entrepreneurs uncovered the veil of how one ask for (a lot of) money to scale a business; what makes a good pitch, how much to raise at first, when to raise and from who.

The panel talk was followed by good questions, popcorns and drinks. Thank you for all of you who came to listen, share and network.

A special thank you to our Sponsor Techstars London who has opened application for its accelerator and to our amazing panelists. We had the exciting presence of Tech City News, Sirius Program representatives as well as some TechStars fellow.

You can find the pictures of the night on our Facebook page and keep yourself up to date on our latest news and events via our Twitter @GirlsinTech_UK. We will be back in September with a nice “back to school” party & networking event! Have a great summer!
