Foodpreneurs Hub的动态

At Foodpreneurs Hub, we believe the future of food is powered by bold ideas and relentless innovation. And today, Day 1 of our Food Business Funding Program set the stage for what’s next. Today marked the beginning of something truly meaningful. Through our Food Business Funding Program, we’ve started the journey to empower Africa’s food entrepreneurs with the knowledge and support they need to secure funding and scale their businesses. This is more than just learning how to raise capital. It’s about rethinking what’s possible, shaping the future of Africa’s food ecosystem, and giving entrepreneurs the tools to make their vision real. We’re excited for what’s ahead—and we’re even more excited to walk this path together with our incredible participants. #foodpreneurshub #foodnews #foodindustry #funding

POV: You're a scaleup competing for investors attention in a landscape experiencing a funding gap and your pitch deck just garnered another 'the idea is there...' response. This morning, our Co-Founders Mike Robb and Nick Ford-Young hosted our breakfast event 'How to influence and optimise a funding round in 2024 through brand, communications and analytics.' revealing the key differentiating factors that scale ups must start implementing if they are to escape the funding gap. Huge thanks to all attendees that joined us, with particular thanks to our panellists Jonathan Keeling and Gillian Gray, who offered some brilliant insights around the investment landscape - past, present and future. If you're looking for advice when it comes to crafting a compelling brand story and reassuring your future investors, then get in touch.

“Don’t pay to pitch.” Sam Marchant Todays takeaway from Hotbed’s “Investor Ask Me Anything” #HotbedSummer sessions thanks to Perdie Alder and M Coyle. I have listened to Sam Marchant speak a number of times on panels, as a keynote and followed LinkedIn posts and appreciate his honest and candid insights into the investment landscape from a VC, Angel and Founder POV. Todays session came on a day that I was contemplating my investment strategy following some soft commitments from Angels and family and friends. As a first time founder how are we to know what the right combination of investor and investment is? And furthermore, where to find it? I am on a number of groups with other founders, but advice is so personal and differs dramatically that it is hard to know what to take on myself. Is there a solution that is right for all or is it that I need an investment advisor to help me chew the fat, weigh up the opportunities infront of me, and make the right choice for me and for itoms? (Anyone fancy letting me buy them a coffee to do so?) Oh and any thoughts on whether you should pay to pitch? #fundraising #investmentadvice #femalefounder
