First Pitch to First Cheque | 12 Months On
We've teamed up with Hotbed and Stripe to bring you an evening of honest insight, real founder stories and practical advice - from founders who were in your shoes just 12 months ago.
Turn the clock back 12 months, and our panellists were in your position: pre-seed, scrapping for traction and figuring it out. Now, they're raised, grown, and broken through. Join us to hear how they did it, the lessons learned, and what they'd do differently.
This event is designed to help you level up and confidently navigate the next 12 months.
