Angel Investor Lunch with Ash Maurya - Glasgow

Our Mission is to Find and Empower 'Neo’s' in Scotland.if you’ve not seen The Matrix, Neo’s are people who have a special ability and role to play in making the world a better place.Specifically, The Startup Race aims to help Scottish entrepreneurs build Startups and Scaleups more quickly and easily so they can make a positive difference around the world with their innovation.To achieve this mission, The Startup Race helps Scotland’s smartest serial entrepreneurs identify and focus on the one thing that matters in order to build a successfull business, and helps them to raise investment.The Origin StoryThe Startup Race was established in  2013 as a result of entrepreneurs who wanted to innovate the startup process, collabourating in Edinburgh, Scotland.We believe that:1 - 95%of Startups fail to become successful Scaleups in Scotland because they drift, run out of time and money.This is because Founders don't understand (or have the discipline to focus on) the one thing that really matters in converting a Startup into a Scaleup.2 - 99%of Startups fail to raise investment because they make the same basic mistake.T﻿his is because they have not focused on the one thing that really matters, and are therefore not attractive to investors.If you share this mission and want to collabourate with us in helping Scottish Entrepreneurs benefit the world, please get in touchhttp://thestartuprace.com/contact/

Experienced Angel Investors know that <a href="https://www.cbinsights.com/research/venture-capital-funnel-2/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">70% of startup tech companies fail 20 months after raising their first financing round</a>. This is why they adopt the portfolio approach but can these odds be improved?For the first time ever, one of the world&#x27;s Lean Startup thought leaders; Ash Maurya is visiting Dundee to meet Scottish Angel investors and Scaleup Entrepreneurs to discuss how funded Scaleups need NOT accelerate their business into a wall but can instead continue to exploit the &quot;Lean Startup principles&quot; as competitive advantage and organizational dynamic to achieve revenue and profit growth.You are therefore warmly invited to an exclusive Angel Investor lunch with Ash Maurya to learn how you can spot better investment opportunities, advise your investees and ultimately improve your portfolio performance.Only a small number of tickets are available, so so early booking is recommended.Our Angel Investor lunch is in the Courtyard by Marriott Glasgow SEC at 12 Noon on Wednesday 4th May 2022
