If you are interested in being a woman entrepreneur, or maybe you already are in business but need some guidance, then you won’t want to miss chapter 2 of the Lean in European Women Business Angels free online training course!
Being a Woman Entrepreneur
The next installment of Being a Woman Entrepreneur takes place this Thursday, November 23 at 12:30 – 13:30 CET. Book your place here. The course covers many aspects of entrepreneurship in general, but takes a unique look at the nature of it through a woman’s eyes. Because although business is undoubtedly a unisex occupation, it’s useful to explore the idiosyncrasies of attitude, character and psychology unique to women.
Understanding Investors
Following on from the introductory first session which took place on November 14 about the nature of being an entrepreneur, this chapter is all about the types of investors you will come across. You will get to know your angels from your VC’s, and your corporate investors from your peer-to-peers in this detailed summary.
One of the key aspects to raising capital for your business project or startup is understanding investor types. Let’s face it, without their help, many businesses – and innovation itself – would not be possible. And even when things don’t go so well and a business fails, the knowledge and learning gained can be the seed of an alternative, more successful idea.
What do investors want?
It’s not as easy to answer this question as you may think. More often than not, an investor’s motivation is about more than just cold, hard cash. Many investors are looking for a project they are passionate about. Especially early stage investors. So you need to know how to make your project attractive to invest in, and how you can help potential investors make their investment in you and your business more about “smart money” than simply cash.
So, without further ado, what can you expect from chapter 2 of this free online training? Check out the agenda below:
- Type of investors: passive or active
