From Seed to Series A: What Actually Scales

An evening on the operational side of getting from seed to Series A: building a repeatable growth engine, picking a go-to-market motion, and the hiring calls that either compound or cost you a year.

Cooper Parry hosts with Exchange Accelerator. The panel is Anish Kapoor (founder and chairman, AccessPay), Harry Panter (co-founder and CEO, Housr), Laura Wiggins (YFM Equity Partners), Ted Tavendale (Puma Growth Partners) and Tom Watts (Cooper Parry), followed by a showcase of Exchange cohort businesses. Doors 17:00, panel from 17:30, finishing around 20:30 with food, drinks and networking at Campfield Studios on Liverpool Road. Free, approval-gated on Luma; the organiser says a few places remain.

Why go: two founders who've made the climb next to two active Northern growth investors, so you hear both sides of the Series A table in one room. Best for founders who've raised a seed round and are eighteen months from the next one.
