The 2024 investment landscape was challenging, and now in 2025, the stakes are even higher. Join us for 'Money, Money, Money – Must Be Investor-Ready in the Startup World,' where founders get a rare opportunity to peek behind the investor curtain.

Ever wondered what truly gets an investor’s attention? This panel gathers leading investors to share their unfiltered insights on what separates the fundable from the forgettable. This isn’t about fluff or platitudes – it’s the real talk every founder needs to hear in 2025, straight from those holding the cheque books.

What makes a pitch stand out? How do investors evaluate risk versus potential? And, most importantly, what are the do’s and don’ts that can make or break a deal? Our panellists will break down these questions and more, offering the practical tips and hard truths that will help founders stand out in today’s competitive funding landscape.

For founders, this is a unique chance to get inside the minds of investors, understand their decision-making processes, and become truly ‘investor-ready.’ Because in the startup world, it’s not just about having a big idea – it’s about knowing how to sell it to those who can fuel it.
