Summary of Fundraising Readiness

About this Session

We have two exciting topics lined up for you in this session. Fundraising is the holy grail for startups. Mastering the skills for fundraising can get you from nothing to IPO. However, we should crawl before run.

This session is perfect for those planning to fundraise. Have you do an assessment of your corporation for fundraising readiness? What’s your share structure? Did you have OM created? Do you have your by-law in line? Did you have your Article of Incorporation check and fix up?

Christine Holmes, a lawyer with over 17 years of legal experience across multiple fields which include startup fundraising, will discuss on things that we need to be aware of before fundraising.

Another important topic is to make your company attractive to investors. Mohamed El Kandri, Co-Founder and CTO of IR4LAB with years of experiences in advising startups, will discuss strategies and tips on attracting investors.
