Future Female Meetup - Fundraising for Startups

This meetup aims to tell you all you need to know about raising funds for your business whether you are already running your startup or planning to start one. Our event partner, Fondia, will be sharing their legal expertise on the topic.

During the meetup we will learn about the different funding options for startups and all the legalities involved. Our expert panel will be discussing the best practices on how to attract investor interest, what you need to know about their terms as well as demands and how to avoid any pitfalls. You will also have a unique chance to meet and discuss with some of the leading Finnish investors.

This meetup is for startups and those planning to start their own business. Unlike before, we would like you to apply for your seat so we can guarantee access to those who will benefit most from this meetup. You can write your application either in Finnish or English.

Registration is open until Friday 18th May. We will contact all the confirmed participants by email on Monday 21st May.
