Founders' Collective – Black Business Collective Session 2 - BGWM IR

The Black Business Collective – Investment Readiness  

Session 2 next Wednesday, 5 November: 

Topic: Pitching you & your business 
• Pitch Deck Development 
• Personal Branding / Building in Public 
• Fundraising Strategy (Debt / Grants / Equity / Bootstrapping) 

A 5-week funding accelerator built specifically for the Black Business Collective and it’s members here in the West Midlands. The programme is designed to give founders the clarity, tools, and network to secure the right type of funding - whether equity, debt, or grants - and to prepare for long-term growth. 

What you’ll gain over five weeks: 

• Clear guidance on different funding routes, and which best fits your stage and ambitions. 

• Tailored insight into funding opportunities available to underrepresented founders. 

• Practical support to create your investor pack and approach funders with confidence. 

• 1:1 guidance to connect with the right investors for your business. 

• Knowledge and strategies to scale beyond the UK - covering exporting, international trade, and building a business for the global stage. 

This is a funding accelerator programme with a community-driven space to learn, share, and build the foundations for sustainable growth, supported by expert facilitators and a network that wants to see you succeed.
