Applying for capital is not guesswork, or the luck of the draw. There is a tried and tested formula to raise Angel and VC funding for your business.

It starts with thinking like an investor. In fact, thinking like an investor is AS IMPORTANT as thinking like an entrepreneur. Last year, during lockdown, 4 companies at Startup Circles raised over ZAR 3.5m (US$325k) in seed and pre-seed investment.

Our Speaker has worked closely with founders from over 50 countries, and have helped them to raise capital and understands the mindsets and aims of both entrepreneurs as well as investors.
