We've seen huge shifts in our way of life as part of the fight against Covid-19 in the past several weeks.
Entrepreneurs around the world have been adjusting their approaches to business and building new capabilities to meet their customers' current and future needs.

Expert speaker
Paul Grant knows what it’s like to be on both sides of the funding fence. As an entrepreneur he raised funds for his own business, securing capital from business angels, bankers, family and friends, and even a government grant.
After seven years of trading, he exited his business in 2003 and was invited to join a private equity company, Capital Partners, eventually heading up the business angel division. Here he had access to nearly 5,000 angel investors and reviewed more than 1,000 business plans every year.
During this time Paul learnt a lot about why so many businesses fail to secure the funding they need in the start-up and growth phases. Paul has met with many investors, bankers, and venture capitalists over the years and in the course of his work has uncovered what they are really looking for.
More importantly, Paul has developed an approach to raising capital that works. He is keen to share with you what he has learnt as an entrepreneur and as an industry insider.

"Paul has a full understanding of what investors are looking for and through his advice I was able to write an outstanding executive summary and improve my business plan, resulting in investment."

"Valuable insights and sound advice from someone who has been there and is now on the other side."
- Initial AF Data Gatherer, FFCS PPI, Deloitte LLP
