Masterclass: Bank Financing in Defence – How to Prepare and Leverage Strategically
Venture capital is often the default funding path for startups – but bank financing can be a powerful complement, especially for capital-intensive business models and companies in later growth stages.
In this exclusive session with UniCredit, we’ll explore how startups at different stages can build and maintain bankability, and how to strategically combine equity, public funding, and bank financing.
Ideal for founders and startup teams who want to better understand how to unlock and strategically use bank financing.
