Join 11,000th Melbourne Silicon Beacher Karen Finch (co-founder and CEO of Legally Yours) and Wes Young (co-founder & non executive director of Legally Yours), for a very special ‘fireside chat’. Walk away with valuable tips and tricks about attracting the right investment for your startup.
Karen & Wes will be talking about –
* Things startups can do to attract investment and scale quickly
* How to tell if the investors you are talking to are ‘angels’ or ‘demons’
* What startups should be doing to attract the RIGHT type of investment
* all the different types of investment opportunities out there
There will be plenty of time for Q & A so bring your toughest questions! You know the questions you were itching to ask but didn’t know who to ask or were too afraid to ask.
