“Thinking about investment in your business? Hear from Embeddable, Maven and NEL on equity, debt and getting investment ready.

Meet the Investor is a free breakfast event for founders and business owners across the Tees Valley and wider North East who haven’t raised investment before, or aren’t sure it’s right for them. You’ll hear directly from two funders active in the region about how equity and debt investment work, what they look for, and how to put your business in a strong position before you approach anyone.

There’s no pitching and no hard sell. Just bring your questions.

What you’ll take away

• A clear view of equity and debt finance, and how to judge which might suit your business
• An introduction to the Northern Powerhouse Investment Fund II (NPIF II) and other funding available locally
• What investors look for, and the common gaps that hold businesses back
• Time to talk to the speakers and other local business owners over breakfast

Who should attend: Founders, owners and directors of start-ups and established SMEs in the North East who are thinking about growth and want to understand their funding options, whether that’s a year away or next month.”
