What does your business look like through an investor's eyes?

Members-only

This masterclass is part of KiCo's series of hands-on sessions led by our mentors, where they share the practical skills and expertise they've built over years. This edition is about something every founder needs but few are taught: how investors and banks weigh risk. You spend your days thinking about growth, opportunities and success. The people deciding whether to fund you are looking at the same company through a very different lens.

Join Sem Koolstra, Investment Manager at Invest International, for an interactive session on how professional investors and bankers evaluate startups before they make financing decisions. Through real-life cases, practical exercises and group discussion, Sem will walk you through the key risk areas every founder should understand. You'll see why assumptions without evidence are dangerous, how to spot hidden weaknesses in a business model, and how to name the top three risks that could threaten your startup.

This one's for you if:

you're an early-stage founder getting ready to fundraise, grow or test your market

you want to understand how investors separate assumptions from evidence before they back a business

you'd rather learn from real financing decisions and hands-on exercises than from theory

Sign up to hear Sem on how investors think and how to build a stronger business that's easier to invest in.
