Make-IT in Africa and Mettā Nairobi bring you the investor readiness masterclass. The session will be facilitated by Yacob Berhane on 17th October 2019 from 10.30 a.m. to 1.00 p.m.

SMEs and spin-outs often need new skills to prepare their business for investment. It can be difficult to value a pre-revenue business, gauge investor expectations, learn the finance lingo, and ensure new innovations are protected. New ventures benefit from proven tools and methods to help them prepare for and find the right investors and close deals.

The investment readiness masterclass is aimed at providing startups in the tech ecosystem with the tools and knowledge to attract the right investors and secure investment. The session will help new companies learn about the types and terms of different investors, value their business, assess their investment readiness, secure their IP position, and practice investor pitches.
